I would like to file a complaint regarding an incident that occurred today involving Officer John Kooos (#280334).
I was driving from a parking lot to the impound lot to retrieve my vehicle when I was stopped for alleged reckless driving. While I did not believe I was driving recklessly, I complied with the stop and accepted that the situation would proceed regardless.
However, during the interaction, the officer drove me around town for several minutes and repeatedly asked whether I would prefer to go to jail or pay him $100,000. This was also typed in left eye chat. I will be including screenshots showing this.
This felt like clear corruption/blackmail rather than legitimate RP enforcement.
Additionally, when I was eventually processed, I received:
I understand that consequences are part of RP, and I am fully willing to accept fair outcomes. However, this situation felt excessive and outside the bounds of reasonable in-character enforcement. The length of the sentence, the additional charge, and the demand for money do not seem proportionate or justified.
I respectfully request that this incident be reviewed. I will provide screenshots of the interaction in left eye chat for context.
