[NOT UPDATED] Police Tweaks (Re-Tweaked)

Description
This mod is no-longer updated or supported. Please consider subscribing to Roon's Police Tweaks instead.

What does this do?
This mod changes some of the settings for the traffic offenses system in the game to make them, in my opinion, slightly better. This is an alternative version to my original Police Tweaks mod.

Police cars have a 70% chance of fining you for speeding
With some map mods you don't always get a sign warning you that the speed limit is about to change. This wasn't a problem until working police cars were introduced. Now they can cruise behind you and fine you almost instantly after crossing into an area with a lower speed limit. This mod attempts to reduce that problem by setting the chance of being caught speeding by police cars to 70%.

Speed cameras have a 90% probability of fining you
In real life not all speed cameras work, so I've reduced the probability from 100% to 90%.

You won't get fined double if there is a police car nearby
As far as I know you don't get fined more for a traffic offense if there are more police around in real life so it didn't really make much sense to have that feature in the game.

Compatibility
This mod will not work with any other mod that changes the file "police_data.sii" but it should be compatible with everything else. For best results put this mod at the top of your load order.

Consider this a Beta
I haven't tested this extensively in game yet so any feedback would be much appreciated.

@DesolatePsyche You could turn off Fines in Gameplay settings completely

with this mod anyone can recommend mod that reduces the cost of fines?

:/ I lose a lot of money sometimes when I'm in a mood of more casual play than "immersive". So I kinda speed around now and then. Lost like 2k in city going to repair center.

@Bulamatadi I drive 7.5 tonne in the UK I have only ever been caught speeding by police vehicles parked at the side of the road with a camera pointing at the traffic. Our oldest vehicle and therefore tachograph is 2014 and we have two 2018 trucks. I have been stopped by VOSA and more recently by DVSA a number of times, the only time I have had an issue at one of those stops, I was driving a 3.5 tonne (no tachograph) car transporter where someone else had loaded the car on the back with the engine over the rear axle of the truck. I don't drive on the continent so I don't know the exact laws in Europe but for the most part the driving laws are fairly standard.

@QuarterThrottle You've obviously no idea what all they can do nowadays. Especially when it comes to truck drivers. You're under constant surveillance, if they wish so! It's not only the police but the transport supervisory authorities in Europe. They can remote-readout your digital tachograph within the blink of an eye by driving by and connecting to it to enforce driving and rest time regulations. They use the DigiCons also to investigate and punish speeding. Especially in Germany. The DigiCin is like a black box which records everything you did and did not, rests, driving hours and, guess what: SPEEDS you were driving! So, exceed e.g. the max. 80-90 km/h, depending on which country you're in, they will know! To begin with. Recorded to the last second, mate. For almost forever. Also, after an accident, the DigiCon data will be examined to discover the events that took place at a collision site. Don't fool yourself. And others. You've no idea.

police travelling in the opposite direction to you would not know what speed you are doing,

Have you put it at the top of your load order. It's only one file so it won't affect any other mods if you put it at the top (apart from mods that affect police).

I can not make this to work???

No, this is an alternative version that just reduces the chance of getting fined.
