Appeal of FRP Warning

I'm writing to formally appeal the FRP warning that was issued to me following an incident involving a traffic stop, vehicle pursuit, and high-risk stop. While I do have Premium Employee status, I take roleplay seriously and always strive to act within the bounds of California law and proper law enforcement procedure.

In both my footage and the original reporter’s, the suspect vehicle is clearly seen throwing a firework onto a normal public roadway. This action creates a serious safety risk for drivers, pedestrians, and nearby property. Under California Health and Safety Code section 12677, it is illegal to possess or discharge dangerous fireworks without a license. Additionally, throwing any object onto a roadway may violate Vehicle Code section 23111, which prohibits throwing substances on a highway, and Penal Code section 374.4, which addresses dumping or littering in a manner that endangers public safety. Based on these violations and the potential harm caused, I initiated a lawful traffic stop.

Once I activated my emergency lights, the vehicle did not yield. Instead, the driver increased speed, failed to signal lane changes as required by Vehicle Code section 22107, and ran a red light, which is a violation of Vehicle Code section 21453. This behavior was consistent with Vehicle Code section 2800.1, which defines misdemeanor evading of a peace officer. Based on this, the situation properly escalated into a 10-80 vehicle pursuit according to standard protocol.

A compliant driver could have slowed down, stopped at the red light, and pulled over into a safe area such as near the Chevrolet dealership. The suspect chose not to do that and instead continued to drive erratically. At that point, it was clear they were attempting to evade law enforcement.

When the vehicle eventually came to a stop, I positioned my patrol car in front of it to block any further attempts to flee. This was a tactical decision based on the suspect’s previous behavior. Given everything that had already happened, this was no longer a standard traffic stop. It was now a high-risk stop, due to the combination of reckless driving, evasion, and the earlier fireworks incident. The driver had shown disregard for public safety and clear intent to flee.

I exited my vehicle with my firearm drawn, which is standard procedure for a high-risk stop. I gave loud and clear verbal commands for the driver to exit the vehicle. I moved to the right side of the suspect’s car to maintain a safer angle and get a better visual on the driver. While I was giving commands, the suspect attempted to flee again. During that attempt, the vehicle moved directly toward my position. At that moment, I believed there was an immediate threat to my safety, and I discharged my firearm. This decision was consistent with California Penal Code section 835a, which permits the use of reasonable force when an officer believes their life or the lives of others are in immediate danger.

Aside from the incident itself, I want to address how the warning was issued. After the original reporter contacted staff member Zenixsin, they were informed that the situation appeared to be more appropriate for an Internal Affairs case rather than a direct rulebreak. Following that response, the reporter escalated the issue further, which ultimately resulted in me receiving an FRP warning. This made it feel like the punishment was driven more by dissatisfaction with the staff response than by the actual roleplay situation.

Before writing this appeal, I took time to research the relevant California laws and policies related to fireworks violations, traffic offenses, evasion, and the legal use of force. I wanted to be sure that my actions were realistic, legally sound, and in line with what would be expected of a law enforcement officer handling a situation like this.

For these reasons, I respectfully request that this FRP warning be reviewed and removed. I am confident that I acted within the law, followed proper procedures, and handled the situation in a way that reflects serious and thoughtful roleplay.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
