Your Discord ID#: asguyerz
Date of PK: 5/9/1990 (September 5th, 1990/2026)
Reason for PK: Killed by cop after initiating violent confrontation
Why should you be unPK'd? What server rule or PK rule was violated?:
■ Initiating a shootout or violent confrontation with Police can lead to a PK. Killing or attacking an Officer after initiating a violent confrontation leaves you PK active from officers for about 15 minutes. Generally we want people to not immediately go for the gun when dealing with Police, as a result if you escalate a situation to a shootout and lose you can be punished via PK as your character was killed. This does not apply if it is the Police that fired first or escalated to a shootout.
This does not apply to players who hit officers with their fists (Unless they Murder them)
This applies when a person shoots / stabs police for no reason or for a non valid reason (Traffic Ticket/insults/etc) and may also be subject to an RDM punishment should that apply
This does not apply if the Officer initiates the gun fire or escalates the situation to violence. (Note: In the server the tazer is non violent as it cannot physically kill or damage the player.)
Officers may not execute suspects, they must make an effort to arrest a suspect and when possible render aid to a bleeding suspect.
Deciding to shoot and kill an Officer to escape arrest is a calculated risk you take, where the penalty for failure is death.
If an Officer shoots your faction member/friend, while it may be within server rules for you to defend them if you choose to do so and are killed you are still PK'ed. It's an in character choice and consequence you risk when deciding to engage police.
All of the rules regarding PK's for initiating a shootout with police imply:
A) The "violent shootout" is between at least you and one other officer
and B) You must initiate the confrontation.
After another player began shooting at me, I pulled a weapon to defend myself and shot at the other player. This other player was not a police officer, but there were other police officers in the area that saw this. They proceeded to shoot both the initial shooter as well as myself, even though I had been defending myself and did not initiate the gunfight. I also did not shoot at any police officers.
If possible please provide video evidence or photo evidence if PK does not follow the guidelines:
My character is in the construction outfit and glasses on the right. You can also hear other officers in the background saying "that guy was probably defending himself"
