3.7 - Blue grids on the map are roleplay zones meaning you cannot kill, rob, take hostage or steal from other players without a good roleplay reason, combat is allowed in the roleplay zones but there must be a roleplay reason (e.g. gas station/pursuit between civilian and police). Hospitals, clinics and fire stations are considered blue zones. They are defined by their property lines.

3.19 - After a robbery/crime is complete, you must attempt to flee. If there is no possible way to evade then you can either attempt to negotiate your way out or engage on officers creating yourself a path to evade.

3.20 - Any video that is within view of the physical cameras located at any building (for example: courthouse, police stations, DOC), can be used within roleplay and doesn't require a go-pro or wire. When more than 20 metres from the camera audio cannot be used.

You must remove someone's go-pro item from them for it to be considered smashed).
3.22 - You cannot constantly commit hostile roleplay in the same location or against the same people without a good reason (meaning you cannot camp at a location). You/your group must not commit any deliberate hostile actions against the same group more than once every 30 minutes.

Audio must be clear from BOTH sides(recorders mic and in-game audio) or the evidence is not able to be used in RP.

Section 4 - Initiation Rules
4.1 - Initiating on someone allows you to shoot/kill them. A valid initiation consists of a demand and a consequence resulting in injury or death. Initiation is shared between people wearing the same uniform and vest, and LEO’s. (Hands up or Die, or any variation that includes or die is not valid.) Additionally, initiation can be shared among Official Gangs wearing clothing of the same pattern and color set but with different models.
4.2 - You must not initiate or rob civilians without a valid roleplay reason. Civilians are defined as anyone not in rebel/gang clothing, you do NOT need a reason to rob people doing illegal runs. 
4.3 - If you rob someone you should only take the necessary items. (e.g an officer is trying to arrest you and you manage to hold him at gunpoint. You should only disarm the officer and take their radio so you can flee safely). You must have a valid reason to steal someone’s uniform, taking their uniform to collect them in your house is not a valid RP reason. 
4.4 - You must give the victim 8 seconds to comply with your demands unless they have a clear change in behaviour. Such as starting to run away, talking on radio or reaching for their firearm.
4.5 - When initiating you must have an actual intention of initiating (and not just be trolling), have a weapon in your hands with intent to harm (fists included) and declare your uniform or group affiliation if they cannot see you. 
4.6 - CTRG shares initiation with whoever they are allied with at the time. They are recognizable by a grey checked pattern on their clothing. (You can check who CTRG is aligned with by looking at the bottom right of your screen. 
4.7 - The following situations allow you to shoot at someone without initiation (this allows only you to shoot, not your entire group), doing so creates initiation:

• You or your group member (wearing the same clothing) has been knocked out, tazed, zip-tied or handcuffed.
• Your vehicle has been stolen (getting in and driving away) and you were 10 metres from the vehicle.
• Someone is attempting to shoot/taze you directly.
• Your vehicle was intentionally rammed by another vehicle.
• You were intentionally run over by another vehicle.
• Police have attempted to S1 your vehicle during an active pursuit.
• Someone has attempted to S1 you. (Only the driver of your vehicle may shoot, doing so creates initiation) 
• Your vehicle was spike stripped.
• Someone is giving you a demand while having a visible weapon and intending to do harm with it.
• You have attempted to call them on the air frequency (60.3) at least 3 times and told them a consequence  (LEO only).

• 10 minutes of no shots being fired (unless there is an obvious standoff between the initiated parties).

• Medics arrived on scene and declared the situation code 4.

4.9 - Initiation must be made in person. Not over the phone or via text.  (Exception for maritime and air frequency, LEO only).
4.10 - It is the initiator's responsibility that their initiation is audible. (Recommended to not initiate on someone going over 80km). (Note that switching voice levels with alt+tab while talking can make you inaudible for a short period).
4.11 - If you call out that you're initiated to your gang/faction members and the initiation is not valid you are responsible. 
4.12 - You must be initiated to knock out, taze, zip-tie or handcuff someone. Unless consent is given or you are police restraining suspects after a situation is over.

4.15 - You cannot give demands that are confusing or unrealistic.
4.16 - You cannot force someone to take money out of their bank account, house inventory, give house keys, sell their vehicle or pull a vehicle out of their garage.
4.17 - Redzones are defined by red highlighted areas on the map, they are kill on sight, meaning this does not require or create initiation. However, you must be inside the zone to shoot. You cannot shoot from inside to outside or outside to inside, unless someone is actively involving themselves with the zone (e.g constantly going in/out of the zone or giving callouts to people inside the zone).
4.18 - Capture zones are redzones at all times regardless of colour. (Not including Mobster/Cartel base, if you shot before the zone turns green the initiation continues but if the zone is green it is not KOS). Cuba Capture Point is NOT KOS and you must initate. 
4.19 - If a redzone disappears, normal initiation rules apply if shots have already been fired at the other party.
4.20 - Starting a melee fight with fists (or a non-deadly melee weapon) create one way initiation for the person being punched. You do not need prior initiation to start melee combat. But you must have a roleplay reason to start a melee fight. Going around punching people for no reason is instantly 50 points.
4.21 - Whitelisted civilians do not need to initiate on each other but they should only engage in combat when the roleplay story brings it there.
4.22 - You can commit a robbery with people in different clothing, but you all must be/stay inside the building. (This makes you share initiation).
4.23 - No more then 12 civilians can be involved with a major crime. Response numbers for major crimes are determined by PD Command.

If someone is run over by you or a non-involved party during an initiation, you may not harm them until they are up on their feet or 10 seconds has passed. (Being "on your feet" is classed as being out of the ragdoll animation, as if you can walk/crawl around etc you are on "on your feet")
4.26 - You cannot store money/goods or vehicles during initiation. You may pull out new vehicles (For example, during a pursuit) however you cannot store the previous one. (Situation is defined as over once you have fled PD + initiation is over)
4.27 - You must not initiate or rob LEO's without a valid roleplay reason. This includes initiating on an LEO to simply rob them of any gear or weapon, or gain access to DOC. Robbing LEO's for items such as key cards is classified as fail RP. 

Section 5 - Value of Life Rules
5.1 - You must always value your life as though it were real life, you must actively attempt to avoid death by either complying or avoiding situations. (Unless it is your only option to survive). (SOPs that state police may not shoot do not void this rule).

8.10 - Externals must be within 1km of the major crime, if a civilian is not 1km from the major crime when the major starts they can not join in.
