Need For Speed Payback: Play as the Cop

@BLVD69

You're right about that. I do this all the time online in AllDrive freeroam servers, it's great! Me and my friends often play as cops, to deliver player-driven "freeroam cops" which is very interesting in my opinion, as a player controlled police car can't have rubberbanding like an AI, yet can make up for it by using shortcuts and driving skill. We can't use spike strips or call in air support, but even with just the Crown Vic and some custom police cars we still have a great time, all you need is a Crown Victoria or some cop vanity items and then you're set. With some backup units in the form of your friends and other random cop cars in the server, you can request roadblocks, use advanced pursuit techniques, and have an awesome time playing as the FVPD, to some extent. For these reasons, I tried to convince the devs to add the FVPD Charger (and others, maybe as abandoned car?) on the same basis as the CVPI, but that clearly didn't work. Hope that your question has been answered. Essentially, we can play as a cop.
