Stop The Ped LSPDFR: Setup, Features and Fixes

What is Stop The Ped?

Stop The Ped is a plugin by BejoIjo. The author describes it as a set of essential replacements and additions for vanilla LSPDFR's policing functions. It reworks how you stop and deal with pedestrians and drivers, adding more realistic interactions than the base mod.

BejoIjo also makes Ultimate Backup and CompuLite, which are often installed together with Stop The Ped. Ultimate Backup adds units like coroner, traffic and felony stop backup, towing, spike strips, roadblocks and K9.

Key Stop The Ped features

• Pedestrian stops with a dedicated interaction menu
• Stop at gunpoint with a softer arrest gesture: suspects kneel instead of lying face down
• Pat-downs and searches, including checks for items and permits
• Gun permit information during interactions
• Menu injection into peds arrested through LSPDFR's own gunpoint or ped stop (configurable in the .ini)
• Integration with other plugins such as computer and backup tools

Community add-ons extend it further, for example packs that add extra questions, answers and searchable items.

Requirements

• GTA V for PC with a working LSPDFR 0.4.9 install
• RAGE Plugin Hook (bundled with LSPDFR)
• RAGENativeUI, which many of BejoIjo's plugins require for their menus
• The current Stop The Ped version from BejoIjo's official page or LCPDFR.com

How to install Stop The Ped

1. Confirm LSPDFR loads on its own (police stations appear on the map).
2. Download Stop The Ped from the author's official source.
3. Extract the archive and follow its readme. The plugin files go into Grand Theft Auto V\Plugins\LSPDFR, and its configuration lives in a StopThePed folder inside it.
4. Install RAGENativeUI if you don't have it.
5. Launch through RAGEPluginHook.exe, go on duty and try a pedestrian stop to confirm the new menu appears.

Avoiding plugin conflicts

Stop The Ped replaces some core interactions, so it can clash with other complete policing overhauls. The author of Policer Advanced, for example, says not to use Stop The Ped or Policing Redefined alongside it, because their stop and ped management logic conflicts.

• Choose one major stop/interaction overhaul.
• Keep supporting plugins (backup, computer) from authors who document Stop The Ped compatibility.
• After a game update, update LSPDFR first, then Stop The Ped, then add-ons.

A Stop The Ped traffic stop, start to finish

Here's how a stop typically plays out with Stop The Ped installed:

1. You pull a vehicle over using LSPDFR's traffic stop.
2. You approach and use the plugin's interaction menu to talk to the driver and ask for identification.
3. You check the driver and vehicle details, often together with a computer plugin such as CompuLite.
4. If something seems off, you can ask the occupants to step out, pat them down or search for items. Gun permit information is available where relevant.
5. You end the stop with a warning or citation, or move to an arrest if the situation calls for it.

The exact menu options depend on the version you install and your configuration.

Configuring Stop The Ped

Stop The Ped is configured through its .ini file inside its folder in Plugins\LSPDFR. Common things players change:

• Key bindings, to avoid clashes with other plugins or trainers
• Menu injection into peds arrested through vanilla LSPDFR stops
• Integration options with other plugins

Edit one setting at a time and keep a copy of the original file, so you can return to defaults quickly.

Common Stop The Ped problems

• Menu doesn't open: RAGENativeUI is missing or outdated, or the plugin isn't in Plugins\LSPDFR.
• Crash on duty: a conflicting overhaul is installed. Remove it and test again.
• Keys clash with other mods: change the bindings in the Stop The Ped .ini file.
• Stopped working after a GTA update: wait for compatible LSPDFR/RPH builds, then check for a plugin update.
