One of the growing problems we have is the placement and construction of lands. Recently there has been a huge public outcry to remove the land system and remove the eye sore that has been created inside of Los Santos. We have even suspended the selling of lands and land moves until we are able to resolve this issue.

Lands are an extremely beautiful thing and it is one of those unique features that makes us stand out as the gold standard server. However, they have not been looked after by both the staff team and the land owners and as a result, instead of showcasing the server as the gold standard, it is instead making the server look cosmetically ugly.

I strongly believe in the good that the land system can bring to Lawless Roleplay which is why I am against it being deleted. I strongly believe the way to resolve this issue is for the staff team, land owners and the community work together to resolve these issues as a collective. Our only objective here is stability and longevity.

Property Disputes
The community can now report any property violating the rules. The Department of Properties will review the dispute and then pursue it with the property owner on behalf of the server. This is not the same as a forum complaint but instead a reporting mechanism of bad property owners.

Once a player reports a property for violating the rules, property moderators will then review it and if valid, they will attempt to resolve it with the property owner via the Property Dispute Resolution Center. Other players are not able to see property disputes however everyone can see the property dispute resolution center for transparency.

Land Placement and Building Regulations
The placement and building regulations have been reviewed for lands. It is much more clear and less ambiguous. We follow these rules strictly and there is no deals or exemptions under any circumstances. These rules are black and white. If you find any property violating these rules please report the property via a Property Dispute form.

• We measure the distance of locations by the running distance of skin ID 0 (1 running step = 1 yard)
• Lands need to be in a realistic location. In real life, a developer could buy that land to begin construction
• Lands must be placed on empty ground with no existing structure there already (This does not include vegetation unless there is a lot of vegetation there)
• Lands must be 50 yards away from turf boundaries, jobs, server mapping, faction head quarters and any point of interest (ie. malls)
• Lands must not cover or block roads, shortcuts, routes, parking, sidewalks or any public property
• Lands must not cover or block other people's property or access to it
• Lands must be at least 30 yards away from other lands
• Lands must be on the ground
• There can only be 3 lands visible in the minimap including the proposed land location

• Lands must be built in a realistic manner and follow the laws of physics. (ie. A staircase into the sky is not allowed, a building without adequate support etc)
• Lands must naturally fit into the local environment
• Garages/ Doors or moving objects must not be used as a supporting structure (ie. roof, wall or floor)
• Lands must not be an eyesore for players
• Lands must not cause nuisance for the general population

Please view the up to date land placement and building regulations here.

• We measure the distance of locations by the running distance of skin ID 0 (1 running step = 1 yard)
• Businesses must be in front of a realistic location (ie. exterior cannot be a house, a hill/ mountain)
• You cannot place this business on somebody else's property without direct permission. They are allowed to revoke this permission at any time and if the property has a new owner, they can also revoke the permission at anytime. Your business will be seized until you pay for a business move
• Business exteriors must be able to support the interior size
• Businesses placed on a land need to have a realistic exterior. Just a door is no longer allowed. It has to be an actual building
• Truckers must be able to access the the business door without hindrance
• Businesses cannot be placed on server mapping, faction head quarters, job buildings and any point of interest
• The same type of businesses cannot be placed within the range of 25 yards
• Businesses must be at least 200 yards away from the trucking job
• Business locations must not cause nuisance for the general population

Please view the up to date business regulations here.

These rules applies to all currently existing and future lands and businesses. In regards to what happens to them, we aim to resolve the matter with the owner so that both the server and the owner will be happy and satisfied with the resolution. Our aim here is not to punish owners but to work with them to create a better Lawless Roleplay.

This is a large update which not only focuses on improving the weapon damage system but as well putting a coat of new paint over Los Santos.

Law Enforcement Agencies are meant to cooperate and communicate to reach their goal. Regarding this,

• Law Enforcement Officers may not shoot at one another in any circumstances, this includes retaliating fire (shooting back at an Officer who shot at you first)
• Law Enforcement Officers may not steal another's suspect (for any purpose, whether it be arresting or releasing)
• Law Enforcement Officers may not cause tension over a radio such as /d. If you have an issue with any faction members, bring it up to that factions leader, or speak to a member of Faction Management.

Prison (60 minutes) and/or Removal from the Faction

Corruption is considered when any faction member abuses their faction given commands, equipment, and access to commit actions that are not within the faction's role in the server.

Some examples of Out-Of-Character corruption:

• A Law Enforcement Officer using /detain to kidnap a player
• A hitman agent aiding a gang or faction
• A Law Enforcement Officer excessively ticketing (/vticket)
• Selling in game positions for in real life money
• Abusing the free name change service
• Frisking a player without a valid reason
• Taking player weapons while on a shootout with them
• Tazing players without a valid reason
• Killing a player just to have a medic save them
• Taking player items without it being used in a crime

Prison (60 minutes) and/or Removal from the Faction

However if you have been a victim of In-Character corruption that does not break the Out-Of-Character corruption rules, you can fill an IA complaint against the faction member here ( LSPD, FBI, LSFMD or SANews)

Some examples of In-Character corruption:

• Turning a blind eye on crime
• Accepting a bribe in order to release their own suspect
• Planting illegal narcotics or firearms (Both cannot be added) on a suspect (must be a HEAVILY ROLEPLAYED scenario and actually have the drugs to place on said suspect.)

• You may /su a suspect if you have their name (either by getting told by the suspect, checking MDC for previous records, showing you their licenses or by you frisking them)
• You may /su a suspect if they are critically injured (As you can process them as a running suspect)
• You cannot /su a suspects for a crime they have committed over 20 minutes subsequent to committing that crime. (You have 20 minutes to issue the felon.)
• You MUST add the full charges, abbreviations are not allowed (I.E PIN, PIF, etc)

Prison (60 minutes) and/or Removal from the Faction


Charge stacking is when a law enforcement officer files the same crime against a player several times. For example, a player is wanted for reckless driving and another officer gives them a wanted level for reckless driving again. It is the responsibility of the law enforcement officer to make sure that they are not charge stacking (they can check a player's crime by using the MDC's civilian record check.)
Prison (40-80 minutes) and/or Removal from the Faction

All out of character and abusive language which is not meant to be said in faction broadcast channels is punishable. This includes department radio, news channel and faction radio.

• Faction members should not use the Department Radio or faction Broadcast Channel for Out Of Character material.

Kick and/or Removal from the Faction
Factions have access to special vehicles with increased vehicle health or with weapons such as a water cannon, machine gun, and rocket launcher. The following rules apply:

• These vehicles cannot be used during a turf war.
• These vehicles must only be used for faction business only.

Prison (60 minutes) and/or Removal from the Faction

• Hitman agents are not allowed to assist any factions.
• Hitman agents are not allowed to do any hits during an active turf.

Prison (60 minutes) and/or Removal from the Faction and/or Fine 2x contract value

Law Enforcement Officers may not return to situations where they have died, even if a fellow Law Enforcement Officer has requested a backup. This rule doesn't apply on Turf wars and bank robberies as they are permitted to return to situations where they have previously died however if you returned to the same location without one of these specific things happening, it will be considered as Revenge killing.

You will receive a Deathmatch Warning.

Thank you on behalf of the Faction Management,

It only feels like we released an update yesterday.. oh wait we did. In this update, we have listened heavily to player feedback and added some new cool features (plus fixed some bugs). Lawless Roleplay is truly a server made by players for players.


In the past few updates, we have been heavily focused on increasing player-to-player interactions. The most important player-to-player interaction is the one of selling and buying. This not only gets the economy moving but gives players a job, a role to do.

In this update, we have focused on weed (also known as pot). Previously, drug smugglers would smuggle pot to the drug house and players then used '/getpot' to instantly get a bag of weed. We have removed this feature. Now, drug smugglers deliver weed seeds to the drug house, players then buy these seeds (3 seeds for $200) then plant them. You can watch your beautiful weed plants grow in real time as they blossom to full length.

Furthermore, we have also adjusted the pain killer perk to give you up to 115 health from restaurants and paramedics. Please see the full changelogs below:
