Importance of suggestion: 7/10
Why should it be accepted: I was thinking it for a long time. If we have balanced everything, why not we have a shock reflector? Criminals have Shocks, taze reflector cuff kits and many more. We just got tazes only. It'll be balanced if we ( LEO's ) would have a SHOCK reflector. Willing to hear your suggestions for it.

I think the current gameplay, when we look at cops and robbers (without BM items) is a bit in cops' favour and I think it is supposed to be this way, because criminals should run from police. Then you have an option, to get loaded with items from black market, which balances the gameplay, or even gives a bit of advantage to criminals. Again, I think this is how it's supposed to be because items from black market are expensive and getting them is a bit time consuming too. But still, I don't see players loaded with those items often.

After all, if you look at the current state, there is usually a lot of cops online and very little number of criminals. I think we should work on that. This suggestion wouldn't do any good now, in my opinion.

Don't get me wrong, I like the suggestion. I just think that it is not the right time to add it. When I feel it is, I will be more than happy to support it.

It's not very often I see a taze reflector used. I myself carry one, but I normally use it to keep SWAT off my ass. It's a tool for getting away not offensive use. More of a 'give me a chance to run'. Most criminals prefer to head on duel the police, and most constantly shout 'no taze bro'. I also don't see many criminals tazing the police unless they get tazed first. I don't even carry a stungun on me, since I don't use it. The taze reflector I carry is for a getaway, not hurting my pursuer. The cops really shouldn't be running away. They should tackle the criminals head on and keep throwing their numbers at them. So having a reflector for the cops is pretty pointless.

Osolnik and Lost Soul were on point.

Don't forget that LEOs also have unlimited tazes, free and unlimited weapons upon spawn and the ability to send someone to jail instead of only kill. We can't really claim cops are defenseless nowadays. As Lost Soul said, the taze reflector is usually being used as a defence to escape from cops, something criminals should do but LEOs shouldn't.

I think we need chill a bit with the cops vs criminals 'balance' suggestions for now. Some minor changes were made in favor of cops few weeks ago since they were too weak but that's about it.

It's more than fine the way it is now and it's clear that each one of us has a different concept of what real 'balance' is. I suggest we focus on improving the general gameplay for now and leave the two classes aside.
