Both parties kill people in the meadows. But more often than not, a neutral person starts it.
I lost my police status by accidently arresting myself after writing in *mostly* caps. I capatalize all abbreviations, and I used a lot of them. I get demerits every once and a while, mostly on accident. They build up, and then when you step inside the imprison box, BAM, you lose it.
Most criminals and cops annoy me. But what I really can't stand are gangs.
Also, there is a large number of cops who think that:
1. They can arrest anyone who kills them.
2. They can arrest anyone who bugs them.
3. They can arrest anyone who is working with criminals.
A couple people bashed me for breaking those "laws", and ended up paying their fines. You weren't a victim of account swapping. You were just stupid enough to make up your own laws, not read who was a criminal, or mis-target someone and hit another person.
However, most criminals bug me more than cops, but I hang out with both groups. I'd just forget your little "gang" ideas, and try and unify all the cops or criminals. You might end up with some interesting battles then.
