Once the player has a Wanted Level, [[LCPD in GTA IV Era|LCPD]] officers give chase and attempt to [[Busted|arrest]] the player; if caught, the player is transported to the nearest [[LCPD in GTA IV Era#Police Stations|police station]] and released a few hours later after a fine (10% of the player's current cash balance) and the confiscation of all [[Weapons in GTA IV |weapons]]. | Once the player has a Wanted Level, [[LCPD in GTA IV Era|LCPD]] officers give chase and attempt to [[Busted|arrest]] the player; if caught, the player is transported to the nearest [[LCPD in GTA IV Era#Police Stations|police station]] and released a few hours later after a fine (10% of the player's current cash balance) and the confiscation of all [[Weapons in GTA IV |weapons]]. | ||
Police officers can arrest the player by holding them at gunpoint — if the player is in a vehicle, the protagonist surrenders immediately; if on foot, the player can resist arrest by running away and/or fighting back, however this immediately escalates a one-star wanted level to two-stars (three if the player | Police officers can arrest the player by holding them at gunpoint — if the player is in a vehicle, the protagonist surrenders immediately; if on foot, the player can resist arrest by running away and/or fighting back, however this immediately escalates a one-star wanted level to two-stars (three if the player wounds or kills the officer with a firearm) and causes the officer to open fire, a risky endeavor at close range. If the player is at low health and evading the wanted level is not likely, it is better for the player to get wasted rather than busted as the player retains his weapons if sent to a hospital. | ||
As the player's Wanted Level increases, law enforcement spends less energy trying to arrest the player and more trying to kill the player at all costs. As such, it is almost impossible to get arrested at a Wanted Level of three stars or higher, although police will attempt vehicular arrests if the opportunity arises. | As the player's Wanted Level increases, law enforcement spends less energy trying to arrest the player and more trying to kill the player at all costs.

At a three-star Wanted Level, police vehicles become more aggressive in their pursuit, attempting to pin the player's vehicle against buildings and run them off the road. [[NOOSE]] now begin to assist the LCPD in setting up roadblocks on main roads and bridges; they also send [[NOOSE Cruiser]]s and [[NOOSE Patriot]]s in pursuit of the player. NOOSE Patriots may attempt to ram the player from the front, putting the player and officer(s) inside at risk of [[Involuntary Ejection|a windshield ejection from their vehicle]]. Strong, fast vehicles are recommended — motorcycles are not suggested, due to the aggressive driving of the police. Officers on foot now use [[Pump Action Shotgun]]s against the player. | At a three-star Wanted Level, police vehicles become more aggressive in their pursuit, attempting to pin the player's vehicle against buildings and run them off the road.

A [[Police Maverick|police helicopter]] is now called in, which can be heard on the radio as "Dispatch air unit from _______", The helicopter will shine a spotlight on the player at night and opening fire if officers on board get a clear shot.

The helicopter, however, periodically breaks off from pursuit. The helicopter retreats if the player goes underground, stays inside a large structure for a long time, or kills both sharpshooters on board. In the Ballad of Gay Tony, sharpshooters are equipped with [[M249|Advanced Machine Guns]] instead of [[AR-15|Carbine Rifles]]. [[Predator|Police boats]] are dispatched if the player is in or near water. Like the Police Maverick, the Predator has a sharpshooter on board. The player is now unable to board the [[Subway in GTA IV|subway]]. | ||
