Request Reason:
This team of SWAT this morning have been acting unlawfully and griefing people's gameplay out of their enjoyment and boredom. Due to less crimes and less people online at that time, they decide to find anyone a suspect and take them to jail. Below I have listed all the violations caused by them. They have unlawfully raided my house.

@1:55
The fundamental rules of RP has been severely broken here. I asked the detective, "Why am I a suspect?"
As the detective said "Because you were the only person nearby when we got a 911 call of bank robbery" - This is completely unacceptable behaviour from the detective
Even if there was a bank robbery or not, you are not allowed to raid the property

@3:20
Finding any random person for being a suspect

A TOTAL OF 7 VIOLATIONS CAUSED
I would like to request their video footage of me robbing the bank as well as the video evidence gathered to requesting a house raid.

I will try my best to find all their STEAM IDs however, I shall request some help from the administration side. It would be possible to find the STEAM IDs within the arrest log. My last arrest.

Once you have collected all the Steam ID's you can, make sure to edit them into your existing thread. If you require assistance with gathering logs of users to confirm their identity then the users must have interacted with your character (it's easier to find logs that link).

Sure I can help you with that too. As you can see in the video evidence. The detective interacted with me by confiscating items. As for the SWAT, they interacted with me indirectly by breaching into my house. Also, Sokolov's STEAM ID has been added.

Edit: Also could check the logs with who was part of SWAT job and Detective job at that time.

  • Infinity - STEAM_0:0:187372430 (Blake Johnston); S.W.AT. Officer - @Infinity

  • Total Arrest Time of 31 Minutes
• Items Confiscated
  • Foiled Hash, Wet Hash, Wet Hash, Wet Hash, Wet Hash

From a review of the evidence provided and in line with the server rules, there was a clear violation here, as stated;

Server Rules - Section 5; Government Rules:
5.2.3.1 - In order to perform a police raid, you must gather video or picture evidence to prove that there is illegal activity going on at that specific property. 911 calls can not be used as evidence to raid a property.
5.2.3.1.1 - Law Enforcement is exempt from this rule if their life or the life of others are in danger (ex: Being shot at or threatened with a deadly weapon, or a suspect they are actively chasing enters a property during the chase). If either of these situations occurs they can immediately raid the property.
5.2.3.1.2 - Reports regarding false police raids must be made prior to the end of the police raid or the report will be closed and the situation will be considered handled in-character.

As far as presented in the video evidence, law enforcement did not have evidence to raid the property and perform a detainment; confiscated items which would have not be found hence the situation, leading to an arrest that technically is invalid and therefore against server rules.

@DystopianRaven , @Infinity , @Suicidal Sam & @Danniel Pogi - Could you explain your actions with justifications in relation to this situation. If you fail to respond within a 24 hour period, the report will proceed without your statements.

First off I do not have to right to share my footage with you if I had any and if you had not of raided the bank please show us some evidence of you not raiding the bank to at least allow us to understand if it was a miss understanding and possibly a false call.

- - - -

The 911 call was NOT used as a reason to raid his property, the reason to raid was based on david boe matching the description of one suspect from the bank raid after a follow up with the caller.

Part of the job as a LEO on this RP server is to investigate crimes, there was substantial evidence based on drills being found to further support the 911 call and david boe matched the callers exact description and even when the caller was requested to the scene again the caller gave us positive ID that we had the right guy.

Our evidence to breach the house was based on a previous 911 with a caller who reported two persons trespassing into the bank and attempting to rob it, drills were found on scene once LEO's were able to clear the bank. Upon a follow up with the caller, the caller described with accuracy one of the suspects clothing and skin color, David Boe was seen standing in his window of the main street apartments in full view matching the exact description of one suspect from the 911 call. We breach on the premise that he matched the description and seeing how he was the only other civilian in the area.

We did not breach because we were bored, just investigated the on scene found supported evidence of an attempted robbery which led to the matching description and breach of davids property to apprehend him. The seizure of drugs and manufacturing equipment was was discovered during the raid to capture him.

I've got to go off to work after this post so I doubt ill be able to defend myself further after this post apologies its out of my control. David was also given a lesser sentence because I didn't want to lock him up all night during low pop times.

First off I do not have to right to share my footage with you if I had any

Firstly, this seems to violate the social concept of equality; as my evidence footage is public with you. Secondly, could you elaborate as for why it is impossible for you to share it with us?

please show us some evidence of you not raiding the bank

You can't show something that doesn't exist. Also, in the footage if you pay close attention (or check screenshots provided), it was mentioned that the bank couldn't be robbed as due to lack of officers on active duty. Or you can check the screenshot of online players and count for yourself. Furthermore, for a more comprehensive detailing of the event, you could request logs for finding the rightful owner of the drill or as you claim that the bank was actually raided.

possibly a false call.

It was...

The 911 call was NOT used as a reason to raid his property

It actually was, as also mentioned in the footage if you pay close attention. "We received a 911 call and you were nearby"

the reason to raid was based on david boe matching the description of one suspect from the bank raid after a follow up with the caller.

So you are admitting to raiding my property without gathering the necessary evidence to proceed with a raid. Despite the situation, as the rules say -> Unless you are in an active pursuit with me, then you can instant raid.

substantial evidence based on drills being found to further support the 911 call and david boe matched the callers exact description and even when the caller was requested to the scene again the caller gave us positive ID that we had the right guy.

1. Finding a drill randomly placed in a bank doesn't give you the right to raid a random nearby house. Nor does it link to any evidence that would POINT to someone and make a suspect unless that same person is the rightful owner of it or was caught in action.
2. Pretty sure a simple 911 call without evidence can't but you in jail. Even if the caller positively identified the person as the rightful owner of the crime or infraction.

only other civilian in the area.

Again, just simply trying to find random people nearby and putting them in jail for 31 years... Simply unacceptable behaviour, this would cause total chaos and grief, on this wonderful server, caused by people like you.

David was also given a lesser sentence

I don't understand what you mean by that; seeing how 31 years was a lesser sentence and you broke another infraction, as person of the Government, as of given a total of above the MAXIMUM sentencing for the 2 charges added together.

Dear DystopianRaven, your input is very welcome, as for your defence in this matter too. However, please come with legitimate, thorough and solid reasonings.

Maybe if I wasnt recording?? cause I wasnt yesterday.
Admins can see my imessage chat logs with the caller if they need.

Secondly you've missed my question now that we are in an OOC situation... Did you or did you not attempt to rob the bank?

If so then mine and the rest of the officers investigation was true, if not then well shit sorry mistakes happen I'll be more careful but please answer that question for us.

To do a raid you must gather evidence, but despite. I did not run away or give you legitimate reasons to raid my house apart from that I was nearby. I didn't try to rob the bank. To be honest with you and everyone here, I believe it was intentional and not a mistake to raid my house. As I said few people on, not many crimes. Your mistakes shall be punished for as well as the SWAT team and the Detective.

As for going over the limit on the prison sentence is not another RP infraction? As the RP Criminal Law Act 2016 says you cannot be sent for more than 30 years. Isn't this another RP rule broken? @SCOTTISH

 

[Dobarion]

To conclude the following report;

From the evidence provided of the situation alongside statements of some of the individuals involved, I have come to a decision: the ground reason to raid the property was invalid which lead to other events which will be voided as they shouldn't have happened. As per with server rules for Law Enforcement to raid a property, there was insufficient evidence. 911 Calls do not validate as evidence (if you read the rule number in full - 5.2.3.1) and no picture/video evidence was supplied to prove any law has been violated under the grounds to breach a property.

Based on my decisions above, the following shall happen:

@DystopianRaven - As you were the acting supervisor in this situation, you take full responsibility for the actions of everyone there. As you may know, the Training Department is taking stricter enforcement to supervisors not roleplaying accordingly in line with their job, with laws & rules; this in mind, you will be receiving a Two Week Blacklist from the job a Chief of Police for Raiding without any sufficient evidence alongside failing to roleplay accordingly within your job rules.

@Infinity & @Danniel Pogi - As the S.W.A.T. Officers in the situation, you should be aware of the Law Enforcement Raiding Rules and as you took part in the situation you shall be both receiving a Four-Day Blacklist from the jobs of S.W.A.T (this includes all positions).

@Suicidal Sam - As the Police Detective in the situation that confiscated all the items without a question, not even travelling back to the Police Department/Sheriff's Office and taking part in the invalid Law Enforcement Raid, you shall be receiving Two Warning Points for violating your job guidelines.

And finally, @Xarion - You may make a refund appeal for the following items listed below & any other item/cash you may have lost with evidence.

• Foiled Hash
• Wet Hash x4

SCOTTISH
