Even if I give you that you had fingerprints, you would still need legitimate access to police department records in order to identify who those fingerprints belong to. Simply having fingerprints does not automatically give you my character’s name. At no point was there any RP showing how that information was obtained, how the prints were processed, or how they were matched to my character through official records. The warrant was still ultimately based on information taken from the crate and then justified afterward with an explanation that was never actually roleplayed out. That’s why I still consider this metagaming. The issue is not whether fingerprints could theoretically exist, but that the identification process itself skipped necessary RP steps and relied on OOC/mechanical information to reach the conclusion. IC, this did not only hurt my character. It damaged the reputation of the Landespolizei as a whole. Because of this warrant, I was made to look bad in front of Generaldirektor Jonas Keller, and my character almost got fired. On top of that, my superior, Hermann Meissner, was shocked and appalled by the situation. Because of this warrant, I was nearly fired based on information that was not legally or properly obtained through roleplay. That is a major problem.

Your Name: Charles SteamID32: 56697825 Staff Member's Name(s): Nooby Staff Member's SteamID32(s): unknown Rules Broken / Conduct issues (Provide evidence for each): Metagame Evidence (Videos/Screenshots): The arrest warrant (the orginal was deleted after whoreson said it was bs so I made a copy) https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tGrVh301xDw1hpplsM7Ir3MVTNWVy5QrP-7jFRVspLI/edit?usp=sharing Additional Information: Nooby requested a warrant against my character using information that was metagamed. My name appearing on a drug shipment being the cause for his arrest warrant does not make any sense. His warrant request was signed and he attempted to enforce the warrant by going into the Lapo station. It should be stated that an admin should know that this is clear metagame.
