yes you are right,the cost right now to start up city police or provincial would be massive province wide.I think this is just Ottawa playing hardball in the negotiations...do you seriously think that the federal government or the RCMP will scrap roughly 10,000 RCMP and civilian connected jobs in British Columbia??but then again politicians aren't a bright bunch!!
Absolutely- its just Harpo and Co. playing hardball for some reason. They basically said the only option is sign a 20 yr contract or we're packing up. They didn't give any wiggle room for negotiating how resources are spent and other urgent issues facing the force. I think the RCMP should stay, but there needs to be some substantial changes. Small towns are their bread and butter, and they do a great job at that. Its bigger cities like Surrey that should really look at a municipal force.
But as you said, thats politics for ya! I think we'll all be watching this one, it will probably get really interesting pretty soon.
Question about the mod: Not that they're necessary, but are you thinking of any scripting changes/alterations/additions? I think there was a flashlight in the last video, are you hoping for that to be in game or was it just editor eye candy?
PFD- I think gang violence has gone down quite a bit since a few years ago. I think the few things that have happened in the last few months are all courtesy of Jon Bacon's assassination. Just retaliatory back and forth stuff that is nearly impossible for the police to prevent. Also, crime is down as a whole but you raise an interesting point about the transition period. I think if they do switch over, they will make the transition as smooth as possible but I'm sure there will be some lapse and the criminals will take advantage of it.
