Remote Nexus Database Access Device

[The Bunkerman]

Title of Suggestion: Remote Nexus Database Access Device



Description

A device that can be purchased for anywhere from $50,000 to $100,000 that allows you to access the database at any time by using the item in your inventory, but only as a government job or with a government pass.



Why?

This can be very useful for a variety of reasons:

1) If you are without your vehicle (i.e. doing a foot patrol or have had your vehicle stolen/damaged) and are trying to resolve a situation which requires database access, you're kind of stuffed unless Dispatch is around to retrieve information for you. But by using this item, it allows you to still perform your duties, regardless of whether your vehicle is to hand or not.

2) Not all vehicles are marked as 'police' vehicles, i.e. you cannot access the database from the front passenger seat. A good example of this would be the Mercedes Sprinter Large Van; it has ELS and a Police skin, however it is actually classed as an ambulance, so you can't access the database from inside the vehicle as it is not registered as a police vehicle. Same goes for any vehicle that isn't explicitly marked as a police/unmarked one.

3) Government Workers (red pass, blue pass, etc.) should also have access to the database, which means that they can perform their assigned duties to the best of their ability (e.g. accessing information on the database which is required for their duties).



However, I also think that the ability to use this item should be disabled if a Dispatch unit is active, as then that would still encourage officers to roleplay and use the Dispatch for information retrieval out in the field, as this is how information would realistically be retrieved. Think of it as an aid rather than a necessity.
