Hehheh, j/k :0)
I've been there too. I once witnessed a player flip OOC when someone didn't want to involve themselves in an arrest attempt. They then proceeded to post a wanted poster (again, without the 'criminal's' permission) in an attempt to heckle the other player I guess.
Some people really don't understand that rp is a 2-way street. Its about shared story, not 'my story trumps yours'.
On the other half, a lot of people play cops without really considering that their power isn't universal, that they can't magically know who is who and where they are, or that being The Lawâ„¢ is a relatively dangerous job where you have to play by a specific set of rules that your opponents don't.
Just do what I do if the law annoys you! Â Find the people he loves, kidnap them, and start skinning off their tattoos and mailing them to the police!
