This would be good in some ways, but as you say, it requires SERIOUS coding, and could be open to abuse - police just left idle, ramping up the credits.
My way requires no admin intervention at all except a slight modification to the lawfull IDs, and so can be implemented almost immediately.
However my way DOES rely heavily on player co-operation, but hey, isn't that what we are all here for?
