4.1 The only way to initiate is by speaking through direct communication.
*Changed To*
4.1 A valid initiation needs to contain the following things:
Clear instructions
An audible threat
Time to respond
This can be anything from, telling someone to leave, telling them to get out of a car, telling them to drop something or telling them to put there hands up etc etc.
The instructions you give must be physically possible, no telling them to hop on one leg, or telling someone to put their hands up when they are in restraints/in a vehicle.
The Clear part means no rushing the words, IE if a vehicle is driving past don’t try and rush so they hear you, this is poor RP, just keep chasing and wait for a better opportunity.
Remember, it is your responsibility to ensure they have heard your Instructions, It is always best to repeat yourself multiple times.
A Visible AND Audible Threat
This is really simple, A Visible threat is you or your gang mates pointing a gun at someone's head, If you are telling someone to do something with a gun in their face they better comply.
An Audible threat is just that, “or I will Kill you”, “or I will taze you”, “or I will knock you out”, make sure if giving an Audible threat you stick to what you say, If you threaten to taze someone then lethal them this is Poor RP, same goes if you threaten to punch someone and then you shoot them, expect a ban.
Time to respond
This is very simple, a rushed initiation is a bannable initiation.
Always give them more than enough time to complete the Instructions you gave, “but they were in a car” is not a valid excuse to say something and then instantly shoot.
Initiating on Tyres
Police have the ability to initiate on tires, this will normally then turn into a 2-minute chase, but that is not a server rule, it is a Police rule to where possible encourage a police chase.
It must follow the above initiating rules, so it must be clear instructions, must be an audible threat (i.e. “or I will shoot your tyres”), and there must be enough time to respond to the instructions.
If the police initiate on tyres and end up shooting a passenger then the officers must fully comp, failure to do so will result in admin action being taken.
Returning Fire
So, when can you shoot back,
This is where poor RP comes into play, If the police have initiated on tyres, you can not shoot until either you have completed a valid initiation or the police have opened fire on your vehicle.
Where possible you should also counter initiate, as instantly opening fire when someone initiates can be classed as poor RP. Driving around someone intentionally waiting for them to get annoyed and initiate on you, so you can jump out and kill them/get your gang to kill them is poor RP.
Just think of it from the other side, if you asked someone to put their hands up, and the moment you finish talking they 1 tap you.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
4.1a You may initiate on air vehicles by pressing ‘Alt+1’ or ‘Alt+2’ , after a reasonable amount of time, if the player hasn't left the area or landed, you may kill anyone inside of the air vehicle.

If you're at a clear disadvantage, for example, 3 rebels aiming at you while you are in a car or a gun pointed to the back of your head whilst you're looking the other direction, you must comply with their demands, use common sense. ie, No 180ing people as this would not work in a real life situation

When the police zone turns orange you are no longer permitted to crush/impound/store vehicles or send people to prison in that HQ until it turns back to blue.
