Hello guys,
I have played the game for over 25 hours now and haven't seen ONE SINGLE police patrol car or a police officer patrolling the streets OUTSIDE of the police emergency calls.
In one case, I asked myself if it's related to my reputation and went on a killing spree to gain the worst possible reputation. I drove into a tunnel and shot every passing car driver in the head. At close distance with a shotgun. I killed approximately 50 drivers and nobody called the cops, not even the ones I let pass from the contraflow. They didn't even hit the gas while I shot them or hoot at me. I inferred two things from that:
1. The AI of the citizens is dumber than bread.
2. The cToS system is nothing but a fraud.
So there are all these cameras around the city and potential crimes happening everywhere but there is not a SINGLE COP RESPONDING?
Where are the omnipresent police sirens of Chicago in the background? Where are the all squad cars? Why aren't there police officers roaming the city and eating donuts or whatever?! You see firetrucks and ambulances responding all the time, but NOT THE POLICE in a crime-infested city like in the game??
Hell I even went to all the police stations and there are NO FU**ING police cars on the parking lot either! So where do they all come from in a split second when I draw my gun and a pedestrian calls 911?! Do they teleport themselves from an invisible police station??
I often saw a perpetrator killing a pedestrian and waited if an ambulance or police showed up - but NOTHING EVER HAPPENED! The city feels so EMPTY and LIFELESS without police sirens howling all the time and police cars patrolling the streets. I just stopped playing the game since yesterday because of that. Even GTA Vice City did this better over 10 years ago! This ruins the authenticity of the game completely!
What in gods name did you do in 5 YEARS OF DEVELOPMENT? You should have done one less silly minigame and instead concentrated on essential things like the abysmal AI.
I hope you will patch this gamebraking issue Ubisoft, I payed 80 dollars for this!! Add some police to the city and some county rangers to the Pawnee area. Maybe a Sheriff chilling at the country bar or something!
The SUV police cars are already in the game so you just have to place them! God dammit even I could have done that better! What a waste of opportunity!!
Hi,
Just loaded up my single player game (PS4 and bout 10 hours into game) and there was a cop car chasing something as I was about to steal a car. Could see him on mini map and was wondering what I did wrong then realised it was for something or someone else.
That's THE only cop car I seen anyways (apart from when I shoot things up)
OMFG! I would love to see something like this but I swear it didn't happen a single time in 25+ hours. Are you sure it was a cop car? Maybe it was an ambulance or firetruck?Originally Posted by Ruff4548 Go to original post

YOU MUST BE JOKING RIGHT?Originally Posted by DannyBurlo Go to original post
Of course there are cops when someone calls 911. Did you even read my post? I meant OUTSIDE of the emergency calls, i. e. when you are not wanted. The there are no police cars patrolling the city or no police officers walking around! They just spawn out of nowhere when someone calls 911. Their cars aren't even present on the local police stations. They just spawn when someone calls them. That's the most ridiculous police system I have ever seen in an open-world-game.
So that they can respond immediately when one of the numerous crimes in the game happen?! It is not credible how it is at the moment. Where do all the police cars come from in a split second if they are not parked even at the police stations? They must be on the streets already to respond THAT FAST to a 911 emergency call. Also, when people get shot on the streets every 10 minutes (not by me, by the AI criminals), why isn't the police responding to them too? Why just me? And that is not the case every every time - like the issue with the tunnel where I killed 50 people while cameras were staring at me and opposite traffic was passigng by. Not a single cop responded to that.Originally Posted by Don Quitto Go to original post

I've seen a few cops patrolling.. It's hit and miss really.
Just saw a car with two cops in it right after I finished playing chess up in mad mile(The park area) cop drives in through the pedestrian path up there ever so casual mows down 3 NPCS then drives back out to the road( And I swear both cops were talking about people in the way) sadly My PS4 didn't record that.. Seems that 20 minute record is hit or miss sometimes.
Cops respond immediately to the players crimes but not to the npcs? It seems like something got hugely borked here.. for instance, I'm just driving along, suddenly a guy shoots someone else and starts running, so I chase after him. A passerby calls the cops because of the npc bad guys gunshot, and then the cops come and.. immediately start using lethal force on myself, ignoring the CIRMINAL WITH THE GUN (I dont have any weapons out) that I AM TRYING TO STOP. Seriously? Or a good number of times during a criminal convoy and a passerby calls the cops.. and the police ignore the 12 armed thugs in the street, but again solely focus on the player.
It feels, to me, that at present, the cops are there only as a troll system and annoyance to the player, as they do not help the player or hinder enemy npcs whatsoever, even when the player is clearly trying to help the citizens.
