Please be aware; just because you were not pulled over does not mean you have not committed an offence. The Federal Prosecution Service may later pursue any person committing an offence above in court at a later time. Often Failure to yield offences will be pursued later as officers are heading to a crime scene at the time of the offence, if this is the case a subpoena will be issued for you to appear in court at a set time. Failure to adhere to a subpoena will result in an arrest warrant being issued. If a vehicle evades police an arrest warrant may be sought immediately for the apprehension of the accused and the immediate trial of the offender.
Because of the problems with those failing to adhere to the laws creating dangerous situations on the road, evading police, causing a pursuit, reckless driving, and dangerous driving will all be arrestable during the time of this operation (to promote public order). All cars involved in the offences above will be impounded whether improperly parked or not (to promote public order).
Please be aware the license suspension rules in the new court guidelines may be used, heavily restricting you from driving on our roads if you repeatedly breach the traffic laws or cause danger to the lives of civilians, paramedics or police officers. The above applies to citizens of Altis, police and paramedics as the laws would in all general situations. Exceptions to the offences listed above do exist for emergency vehicles however these vehicles must ALWAYS drive safely.
