Yeah, I feel like some people are brushing over the printer tax tbh, again as I said in my post assuming evasion gets a warrant that's a very easy way to fuck with someone without getting in trouble, plus the fact that a lot of people who base with printers might honestly bounce if we begin taking earnings. As I said in my first post, everything else sounds cool, but I 100% -1 the printer/illegal item taxation. (Keep in mind I don't even base and I see the problem with this, that says something.)
A good compromise would be bankers could be taxed on the printers stored with them, and we add incentives for people to run banks. Not only would that fix this problem but if we added more incentive to run a bank it'd make that class used a lot more too. Just food for thought, and honestly I think it's a lot more realistic that way. Plus, I think it'd be funny to have a bank attempting to tax evade on its stored printers.
Now. Assuming this "tax to have printers" really is just 1-5k an hour or something along those lines, I don't really see nearly as much of an issue with it. It could appear after you collect money, and apply to that printer (so people who sold off their printers don't worry about it) however thats really all I could agree to. It would also not have to be per printer, especially if you are farming a fuckton of printers. That'd just both piss people off and inflate the pd vault drastically.
@Bizzy keep in mind not only do I not base but I also absolutely love being mayor, and even I think the balance it's getting way too tipped in their favor if we add this suggestion as-is. These solutions would make all parties happy, and would allow for even more policerp! Hope to see what you think of them.
