Paul Heslop <paul.heslop@blueyonder.co.uk> blames violent video games for
the following:

I actually used the 911 cop-calling feature to get cops to kill all the
enemies on one of the missions. The funny thing is that I still got a 2-
star wanted level (must have been scripted) once the baddies were all
dead, despite not even equipping a weapon the entire time.

Nice little detail indeed. I used to notice this during my first gaming
session when I knocked on a waiting car at an intersection. The (very
aggressive) driver left the car, chased me and was eventually arrested
by some cops standing nearby.

What I really hate though is the general aggressiveness of peds in this
game. Is this supposed to mimic New York City or Berlin?

I just saw this a few days ago in front of Niko's Bohan hideout. One cop
leading the bad guy at gunpoint over to the Crown Vic with 2 cops in the
front seat. The bad guy gets in the car, and i expected the car to take off,
but no. The cop on foot runs down another baddie, and leads him back to the
car too.
Once the back seat was filled, the cruiser took off leaving the cop to
continue his spree alone.
Seems like a high spawn point for cops chasing bad guys.

Next time i see them busting a bad guy(s), i'm going to follow the cruiser
and see if they take him to a station.

I had a good one.

I was doing the "Most Wanted" missions and had parked a policecar in my
reserved spot outside the Bohan safehouse.
When I exited the safehouse a cop busted some punk and started to put him in
the back of my parked policecar!
I was having none of that so I got in and drove off with the perp still in
the back.
He was screaming to get out so I stopped to let him out.
He immediately gets out and pulls me out of the car and picks a fight.
So I punched him square in the face which earns me a * from the cop I left
behind (he was still chasing me on foot) and I end up busted!
