Duplicate Job SWEPs

CityRP does not split one job tool into several SWEPs that do the same job for the same purpose, when the split changes little about how the job is played. One tool that covers the task is better than two that divide it.
Why
Each extra SWEP is another model, another slot to carry, another thing to resupply and another thing to maintain, so a split has to earn its place by changing what players can do.
The request that set this was to take drug detection off the breathalyser and give police a separate drug swab, so the breathalyser would stop detecting steroids. It was rejected by staff vote in 2020: a second SWEP with its own models would change nothing about how testing works, only give officers two tools to carry where one does the job, and the work was not judged worth that.
A new tool that adds a genuinely different mechanic, rather than dividing an existing one, is outside this decision.
