Robbing Police

Running from law enforcement during a traffic stop without needing to do so is an example of this. Joining the server just to troll or negatively impact roleplay scenarios is strictly prohibited. Each and everyone of your characters should contribute to the roleplay experience, only escalating scenarios when it may add a positive element to that scene.
