Arrest script

[Potato_Tomato420]

So i'm currently scripting a arrest system\resource for my server.
When the police officer enters a vehicle the arrested criminal will be warped into the vehicle.

But how can I make the arrested criminal to leave the vehicle when the police officer leaves the vehicle?

function policeStations(thePolice, thePrisoner, underArrest)
	if (underArrest == true) then

		setElementVisibleTo (policeArrestLSmarker, root, false)
		setElementVisibleTo (policeArrestLSmarker, thePolice, true)
		policeArrestLSblip = createBlip (1542.12, -1719.37, 12.55, 30, 2)
		setElementVisibleTo (policeArrestLSblip, root, false)
		setElementVisibleTo (policeArrestLSblip, thePolice, true)
	elseif (underArrest == false) then
		destroyElement (policeArrestLSmarker)
		destroyElement (policeArrestLSblip)
	end
end

function onPlayerWantedlevelHit(theAttacker, theWeapon)
	if (theAttacker) and (theWeapon == 3) then

[Potato_Tomato420]

When i use removePlayerFromVehicle it will spawn the arrested criminal inside the vehicle.

Can i use removePlayerFromVehicle and then setElementPosition to spawn the arrested criminal near the vehicle instead in the vehicle? Of is there a better way to handle this?

Like:

setControlState (thePrisoner, "enter_exit", true)
