The reasoning behind this is so a prisoner can be transported to another location (town), but won’t be able to control the vehicle that they are in. As ships have multiple rooms (locations), why not larger vehicles?
As it is now, a criminal’s only option is to accept whatever punishment the local town constabulary offers when that character has been detained in one of their buildings. Or normally that is the case. I think it would open up a whole new way of role playing if the criminal where to ask that they could be transported to another location for a fair trial. (If the criminal thinks they won’t get one in the town that they are in. And if the local law enforcement, if any, agrees to the request of the offender.) Or if the local law enforcement decides that no one has enough authority to make a judgment call for the severity of a crime, a captured criminal has been accused of. And that the only option is to transport said criminal to another location, (town) where there is a better system of laws or judges that can make a ruling on whatever the crime committed was, and to offer a better form of punishment to the offender.
New spawns love to blow through unlocked buildings to grab whatever they can and head out of town only to be hacked to bits on the road. And why they are hacked to bits? Because the only options are to either follow them to the next location and try to detain them there or to threaten them to return to the scene of the crime that they committed, while being pursued. But not only new spawns, other characters that have been around for awhile go astray and go on a killing/looting/mad rampage. Don’t want this post to be construed as just a way to pick on new spawns. Anyway…

Normally these characters face immediate execution on the road simply because there is no way to transport them back to the crime location. Well, there is obviously, but not many people that own vehicles are willing to take a chance on a criminal being able to control a vehicle that they are being detained in. Due to the vehicle owner having ‘stuff’ in their vehicles and don’t want it to be ‘used’. As it is now, that ‘stuff’ is probably petrol. And who wants to carry petrol around in their pockets?! Or the owner may have to ‘fall asleep’ for a period of time, and might wind up in another location entirely because the prisoner/criminal wasn’t ‘asleep’, and was able to change direction of said vehicle, that they were detained in. (It has happened before…*winks*)
Is or has there been a topic on this before? If so please direct me to it as I’d like to read what others have requested/offered. If not, I’d still like to read someone else’s opinion on the matter. Thank you.
