Pedestrians calling the cops(?)

i was wondering if someone sees you stealing a car and you stick around long enough, a pedestrian will call the cops on you. cause it seems whenever i sit in the car for about 5 seconds i get a 1 star wanted level even though no cops were around

No, I don't think the "call 911" has to do with it, I meant sometimes I will see people pull out there phones and start talking about a car being stolen.

While breaking in check your surroundings for any suspicious peds. Silence them them as soon as they pull out their phone. Still its not really worth the additional effort, sometimes there are cops patrolling the streets, which makes getting away scot-free almost impossible.

That's why I like to attack parking lots in Alderney mostly. Not on the main roads, and half the people could care less. wink.gif

Try to shoot the window (the one you break when stealing the car) with a sniper or anything from distance, where no-one can see you, and then go for the car, it will be unlocked and nobody wil lcall the cops because they will think it's your own car biggrin.gif

Ahaha, I love R* for this game.

Stealing one little bitch-ass car and they pull out of their phone, dialing 911 and in a few minutes

the cops starts chasing your ass and get your ass rammed in jail, because of one car lol

I hear them always yelling at their phones for cops after stabbed grandma.

 

Once I dialed 911 for cops, they came in after some seconds.

One cop comes out of the car and start looking and asking "This is LCPD, whats the problem?"

No one answered that questions so that cop:

"Must be a prick" LOL

 

This game is funny! biggrin.gif

 

You should show your rocket launcher in front of people.

They will say funny things and then they sometimes call the cops.

But as long as you just standing there, you'll get no star.

I wonder what will happens if you show your rocket launcher in front of cop's nose.

Then they call cops because of shots fired... I was bored one day, went to the end of a parking lot and sniped drivers/peds in the head. After just 1 shot EVERYONE on the street runs like they know where I am, and then the cops have like BAD-GUY-SONAR and know where you are instantly.

I love the behavior in this game. Last night I was playing TLAD and I was at the alderny docks just messing around shot a couple people and got a 1 star instantly. I quickly shoot out a window of a nearby truck and just sit in it wait for the cops and they don't notice me in the truck I drive off without them seeing when a cop was standing not 5 ft from the truck lol.gif the cops in this game are so stupid sometimes.

Yes, pedestrians definitely do alert the cops. Ever tried stealing a car or firing a gun with absolutely no-one around? Or in the middle of nowhere? Nothing happens.

 

You can also hear the peds on the phones. One I can recall right now is a woman's voice panicking into her cell: "Hello? There's some stuff going on down here." Similar to that, anyway. The 1 star did appear after about 3 seconds.

Because I was testing the wanted system.

I want to see how they behave, so I let them chase me and see what will happen.

It doesn't make you "crap" for getting busted with a 1 star... I've had it happen to me. I'm running from them and misjudge a climb the cops catch up to me.

Of course I never go down without a fight... it is 10x better to die than to get busted I'm not losing my weapons!

At least cops don't run straight up to your car when you are stopped like they did in the III era. Police in real life wouldn't rush up to a suspect if they believe them to be armed.

Hey, one time, I was up a crane (the one near the bridge under constrution) And I started sniping people. I got three stars, and I got killed by a helicopter. How did they know where I was, even the people I was shooting at didn't know where I was. (Though this is probably because I shot them before they got a look around.)

I'm pretty sure a helicopter hovering over the area would be able to spot some asshole with a sniper rifle on top of a crane.

Just one thing though, there were no choppers nearby; infact, there were no cops of any kind. I suspect that the peds called the cops, and they must've guessed where I was and called in the chopper. They gave me three stars straight off!!!

There is nothing you can do about it. Just accept it. If you shoot the guy that calls the cops, another ped will call the cops and so on. get the idea?

I've heard calls about both shootings and carjackings, but only if I stay in the area for a bit.

I always see someone calling the police in no time. That happens when there is fire somewhere too. When someone is dead they just go near him telling "oh my got"
