Criminal Teamkilling

Ummmm has criminal Teamkilling always been there??? I can’t even leave the crim base before this one guy kills me. I do not think this has always been in the game. Is this a bug, or is it intentional?

It’s always been there. Also, they get damaged by shooting you.

Hmm, I don’t seem to remember it being there but at least make the damage more, because in most cases you can kill two criminals without dying, more if they are on low health. Or at least get rid of this, what purpose does it serve?

always been a feature, and not punishable, k thanks
