8.1.2 You are required to have proof of the approval received. If you do not, you will be sanctioned with Faction Warn.

8.1.3 If a player passes through the radar, they will be automatically sanctioned and the money will go to the faction's safe; they do not need to be chased. Also, no activity-report points are awarded to the one who placed the radar.

8.1.4 A maximum of 5 fixed radars may be placed at the same time.

8.1.5 Fixed radars must be placed in plain sight, on the side of the road; you may not place them behind buildings, in bushes or in areas that obstruct visibility.

Mobile Radar

8.2.2 Players who exceed the speed limit (80, 120 or 150 km/h) by 1 - 5 km/h will not be sanctioned.

Important

If a colleague announces on [/f] that an area is being freed up and you have proof of that announcement, you may take over the area without asking again whether it is free.

8.2.3 You are required to have proof of those 3 questions on [/f]. If you do not, you will be sanctioned with Faction Warn.
