Server Suggestion Make warranted include dna

Suggestion Title: Make warranted include dna
Suggestion Description: When wanted instead of sending a text and only sending warrants it should also include 7+ year crimes (DNA) it should also have a distinction in the messages between warrant and you having dna however it wont be incredibly specific just tells you that you have DNA.

Why should this be added?:
- Currently if you do for example a raid at slums and kill 2 or 3 cops however theres no cops able to issue warrants (arrest/search) it won't show at all you have DNA when warrant checking. Now staff consistently advise to use warrant checks as a method to not shoot cops instantly or break 3.4 . By going to places such as the bazaar or front of pd etc whilst knowingly being wanted. The issue is if cops are overwhelmed or not high ranking enough to issue warrants you can warrant check, be labelled as "Not warranted" and therefore when cuffed this will lead to large scale non preventable shootouts as you already made the right precautions however even after doing so you still get arrested. Ive personally been to bazaar after a raid and warrant checking and still get arrested for murder despite being "not warranted" this leads to a attitude of shoot cops on sight even if they dont even have dna or a warrant on you due to the warrant system's unpredictability.


Therefore when you do have DNA it could maybe say you "Have DNA" or "You are wanted"

What negatives could this have?:
- people abusing the system somehow
Realism

What problem would this suggestion solve?: when you go to places such as bazaar cops will just instantly cuff you and notify you of said DNA this then leads to shootouts, unnecessary arrests and heavily impacts these spaces as people will unknowingly go to places after taking the right precautions and cause a shootout heavily impacting the only few places for passive and non crim RP as a result.

https://share.google/vBqZg9BH1lSZVYUM6 this suggestion was also aired however itd be such a good suggestion especially since people complain about shootouts so much adding a better feature for this system that let's people know their 10 would be so much more helpful at stopping this and containing them.

Its not unrealistic, this is a good suggestion.

This would easily lead to less reports, less accidental bans and more fun.
I have had it happen on occasion where I kill someone, never get a warrant set then walk into bazaar later to find out I have DNA get arrested 10k 10 years but I couldnt alert anyone because I didnt have any confirmation and also couldve easily avoided it. The whole basis of getting a warrant check is an corrupt inside man in the PD giving the info so I dont see any reason why the same man who can check for warrants and inform you could not check the DNA section and inform you

Great take this beats the realism argument

I think this change would likely have the opposite effect of what’s intended.

If players know their DNA has been uploaded while officers on the ground have no idea that is the case then it pushes players into a mindset where they assume they’re already identified and actively hunted, which naturally shifts behavior toward confrontation rather than avoidance or de-escalation.

The admins are the ones you should confirm this with, but if you genuinely think your DNA is uploaded and police are after you, avoiding high-traffic areas like Bazaar makes sense.
And if the goal is to return to normal play, turning yourself in at PD and confirming you’re not wanted takes very little effort and clears up any misunderstandings around DNA or warrants.
