I see the speed limit is not too popular - the point of having that would be to get some nice chases (any decent sports car and decent driver could escape from a police cruiser), but perhaps it's better to stick to just killing (and drunk driving). More ideas of good crimes to jail/fine people for is very welcome!
I think it seems reasonable to compromize and let the players who get jailed keep their money, weapons, etc. Having a jailtime of 30 seconds is probably good - if it would be more (f.e 2 minutes), people might start nagging to get the feature removed, whereas 30 seconds is more or less just a shorter break from fighting.
As someone mentioned, a police chat would be handy, where the officers could talk to each other and reports and notices could show up.
I would also like to hear your opinions on the idea of a /911 command where players could report just about anything - from crimes to them needing some kind of help. As Joe mentioned, if police officers have time, they could be an excellent help for new players needing to get to the ship, the bank etc without having to pay for a taxi. Maybe that's not an emergency you would call /911 for, but you get the point...
