Staff report on [FL] NightHawkd

[Avgar]

- At 25 seconds, you can see NightHawkd from a distance, driving a black aston, hitting a pedestrian at an excessive speed.

This is true. He did hit a pedestrian. As NightHawkd said, he was responding to a governmental request, which explains the speed.

- The pedestrian clearly spawned a few seconds before and headed straight for the zebra crossing, he stopped in the middle, looked right and then a fraction of a second later was hit a high speeds.

If you look close enough in the video, you can see the pedestrian running sideways while looking towards NightHawkd. The distance at which you are recording does not show it very clearly, so to make a concrete conclusion on this would be unfair.

- I ran over and caught NightHawkd saying how he intentionally ran in front of the car.
See above.

- NightHawkd, during this time - took no notice of the random taze happening just to his left

We are all human, perhaps he saw that the taze was not random? Perhaps he didn't notice? Perhaps he was alt-tabbed checking for the player's previous bans/blacklists? I feel like you are making the assumption that NightHawkd, maliciously, did not respond to a situation he knew that a rule break.

- NightHawkd then entered his vehicle after banning the CDM victim for 2 days and drove off, despite a player calling for his help - clearly in the video.

It may seem that NightHawkd was being insensitive in this case, perhaps. However, he may have taken the yelling as being in character for which he was not exactly required to help or he might not have realized what was going on at the time and continued with his original intent. Staff requests and rule break reports are best done in @ chat where there can be no confusion whether it is in character or not.

- NightHawkd also is driving around in an Aston, with no /copcar as an SRU which is a clear indication of FailRP

As the car does not have a defined siren attachment it is not possible to execute /copcar on it. If a player were to ask the staff to give them permission to use the Aston martin as an SRU to respond to calls they might as well be granted that permission. Not only that, but the SRUs have used unmarked fast vehicles to respond to calls in the past.

- I would also like to know if any @ calls were made around the time for the prop-kill as NightHawkd was too busy speeding around to deal with them, but can ban someone when he runs them over.

The propkill happened around 26 seconds before NightHawkd became involved in the CDM situation. In that short time span, the propkill may not have been called in. Also, considering how little time passed even if the call was made, NightHawkd may have, quite simply, not noticed it or not noticed it fast enough.

Just like in a player report or an admin abuse case if there is not sufficient evidence to convincingly say that a player has broken a rule, abused their powers or otherwise, they are to be assumed innocent, unless proven otherwise.
