      Forced to play by the rules at times even when civvies are at risk, overworked, underpaid, and spread too thinly, with a massive aura of helplessness, feeling of inadequacy, and no signs of proper appreciation, no wonder they became corrupt.

      2020 has been given a reputation for crunch, but it's not that bad. Red is to 2020 what 5E is to 3.5E. The difference is that Red makes the rules a bit too lightweight, and makes some rulings that don't make a lot of sense, to the point that fixing it gives you more homebrew rules than Red RAW.

      2 week old comment I know, but it's an interesting idea.
      IMO I think it would end up like the IRL militarization of police. Billions are spent on gear and military/paramilitary trainers first cops...and they're still just as incompetent at actually preventing crime and now have a heavier hand to bring down on easy targets i.e. sex workers, small-time dealers, etc.
      Rather, the actual issues remain systemic in nature and go far beyond law enforcement, and in the CyberPunk universe it's even less likely those needed changes will happen.

    The cop lore in Cyberpunk is pretty good and immersive but I absolutely hate the cop ai in this game. When I try to help them fight crime, they attack me. When gang members try to jump me they just walk by like nothing is happening until I start defending myself then they start to attack me for shooting my gun. -.-

      It makes sense, the government of Night City is perpetually kept on a shoe string budget so they don't get any funny ideas like actually enforcing their laws or regulations on the corporations. They don't even have the money to fund regular trash collection, there's no way in hell they'll ever be able to afford properly militarizing the NCPD.

    Is the NCPD even really privatised? Privatisation implies they’re a separate entity from the NC government, but as far as I see it, they’re still directly connected to and in league with the NC government, which means they’re not privatised, they’re still a public entity.
    Moreover, what kind of botched privatisation is this? Ah yes, we’ll privatise it but not break it up in any way into smaller, competing entities which’d then force them to adapt into different sectors and business models as per the tried and true capitalist model, but instead have them as practically a monopoly, which means they don’t need to improve. Brilliant job there Night City

    Funny thing is, I hardly ever had to deal with the NCPD (unless it was a quest about NCPD and its members) while playing the game from launch up till version 2.0 . I bet you thought that was because the police AI was lacking huh? Not quite; yeah it may have been, but that's not the reason. I actually chose to play the game as realistic as possible, so no GTA or Saints Row type BS; I did this by actively trying to NOT get NCPD's attention. This play style is now more challenging since the cops are way more competent after the release of Version 2.0, but that makes it only that much more rewarding when you can pull off crazy Merc jobs while NOT even getting a Police call about you ;-)
