Checking out the new Charger! Highway Patrol - LS Reality RP

Summary

The video follows Highway Patrol officer Rick Patterson as he tests the newly added Charger in LS Reality RP. The patrol car’s lighting setup includes left- and right-side directional lights, with its front lights switching between moving “Code 3” operation and steady lights when stopped.

Key Incidents

• Speeding stop and firearms investigation: Patterson stops a black Vigero—GTA’s Camaro-like car—after clocking it at 91 mph in a 70 mph zone. A service dog alerts near the vehicle, and the driver, Benny, says there are guns inside. Officers find a Colt 1911 and an FN 509 with its serial number erased. Patterson photographs and bags the weapons, reads Benny his rights, and takes him to the station.
• Street-racing pursuit: A large group of cars and a motorcycle flee from a suspected street race. Patterson pursues a blue-and-white sports car while navigating traffic, race debris, and collisions. Debris damages the Charger and bursts a tire, ending his pursuit. He later reports the incident to Los Santos officers and helps investigate cars and people possibly connected to the race.
• Follow-up investigation: A suspicious tow truck carrying a sports car draws attention after the race. Officers review footage and question people associated with the vehicle, while also detaining Jack Snuff over suspected involvement in racing and evading police.
• Golf carts on the highway: Patterson stops two golf carts traveling on the freeway, explaining that they are unsafe and unsuitable for highway use. Their occupants claim to be a neighborhood-watch group and argue with officers. The encounter escalates into a chaotic confrontation involving fleeing suspects, a golf cart striking people, and gunfire. Several people are ultimately detained.

Practical Points

• Set up patrol lighting to suit moving and stationary stops.
• Document vehicle details and evidence with photographs, and secure seized items in evidence bags.
• Take road debris seriously during pursuits: it can cause vehicle damage and a sudden loss of control.
• In complicated incidents, check footage and vehicle records before deciding who to detain or charge.
