Roleplaying an Arrest
By Kalist for the Fearless RP Server
Being arrested is a common part of being a criminal on Fearless. Every time you commit a crime you have the possibility of being arrested as a punishment. Of course, doing jail time definitely is not the funnest part of being on FL-RP. I mean, who wants to sit in a cell, when you could be out roleplaying? At the same time, it was your choice to participate in the crime-breaking roleplay, and thus you should accept your punishment with pride.
Roleplay

Regardless of whether you committed the crime, whether you feel the jail time you were given is unjust, whether you dislike the cop who is arresting you OOC, or whether you dislike his roleplay; roleplay at all times. If you show the willingness to roleplay well, and realistically, the officer will probably give you more leeway as far as the arrest goes. The officer might be more willing to RP you escaping, just for showing good behavior. This part should honestly be common sense. But in the long run, you don't know the lengths people will go to, to avoid being arrested. This includes breaking FearRP.
Remember, even if you did not do anything and you are being framed you need to RP at all times. Telling an officer that you didn't do something (OOC) is pointless.
Be Attentive

You don't know how many times cops in the server have had to PM people to come back due to them not being attentive. Pay attention to what the officer is doing. Whether it is cuffing you, frisking you, or anything else they may be doing, you need to be attentive. If you're not paying attention the officer could have cuffed you, and you might not know that and run off, causing a forum report on you.
Keep it In-Character

A huge problem with arrests is that things are usually brought into OOC chat. Keep in mind that being arrested is completely in-character. You might not have done the crime IC, and you may be getting framed for it. Take it IC! Report the officer, offer the officer proof that you didn't do the crime. Do anything realistic in your power to avoid being arrested. However, if the officer is still adamant that you're being arrested, take it to the President and/or Commander of Police. Make an IC report on the officer and it will be looked at.
If a huge mistake has happened. Contact an Administrator / Moderator. If non present, gather evidence and post a report on the forums.
Thankyou for reading this guide. I hope you will take it to good use.
