    I'm sure a lot of us can agree that handcuffs need to change. Here's my idea.

    Insta-cuffing is kind of unfair and unrealistic, even though this is a video game. So, instead of one click cuffing, you have to hold down the left mouse button for a few seconds in order to cuff a player. A processing meter pops up and you can't let go of the button until the meter fills up. This can also apply to searching. Also, you can't handcuff while riding your horse.

    Now, how are we going to deal with running suspects? You can't shoot at them unless they're on a horse. How about we make lassos standard issue and they can be used infinitely or they can have a durability meter.

    I think if you're cuffed you should still be able to run away but not fight

    I think the cuffs are fine, I think it's the other equipment that need to change, literally 2 minutes ago, I got cuffed inspected but not ticketed. Then 10 seconds later I get ticketed even though they are combat tagged so my idea:

    No actions done while combat tagged
    Takes 3 seconds to write a ticket
    Inspecting takes 2 seconds

    Could work - Would be a much better substitute than removing cuffing or changing it drastically. Also, I don't get how you managed to combat tag me (punching me with fist) while cuffed (it can't of been a bullet that hit me the first time because I took no damage)

    No - if we are cuffing them and we have to hold our left button another person will come up and shoot/back stab us.
    I like this.

    Nobody would ever get cuffed then...if this happened why not just remove cuffs?

    That's the point. It adds fairness.

    No, they would. What makes you think they wouldn't get cuffed?

    Fairness? So you're saying in cuffer wars we can't cuff because another one will backstab.

    I was thinking about the lesser players. You know how they are pushovers.

    If you have to hold down cuffs, why not people just run away? They have 2-3 seconds to run...

    Or maybeeeeee, Sheriffs learn to shot players who are KOS rather then get combat tagged and wait out the timer so they can cuff again.........

    Give sheriff lasso's and make it so if they catch someone with it they are frozen for a few seconds

    They can't move when the sheriff has a hold of them. I thought you guys would realize that.

    I like this idea a lot! Not to long ago @TheTitaniumTitan rushed in and cuffed me. He got shot by @NeoGer and as he was still being shot he inspected me and then ticketed me. Right after that he died to Neo and with this said I felt that was so cheap :c

    Although... I would like the option of having a team mate have the option of pick locking the cuffs that could take 10 seconds to do. So if you get cuff and the sheriff is distracted a fellow teammate can pick lock the cuffs.

    I would also give a +1 to this idea, very well thought of. Only thing I would add so it wouldn't be too OP would be that maybe you require a special tool, let's say flint & steel for example, in order to pick the lock so not everyone can do it. Have a timer to 15-25 sec. (whichever everyone feels would be fair) in order to pick it as well because it's a little tedious trying to pick locks and the flint & steel only have 1-3 uses before it breaks which can be found in chests and/or bought in illegal shops maybe? Hopefully all this will balance out, what do you guys think?
