::{{Gripe}}Yes there were. There were casual clothed police clothes equipped with a sort of sub-machine gun in [[GTA VC]] and [[GTA VCS]] driving [[VCPD Cheetah]]s. Also, even if there were never undercover officers before, there's no reason why it couldn't be in "realistic" GTA IV. | ::{{Gripe}}Yes there were.

::::{{Gripe}}Pay and Spray has become almost useless. When no cops are around, it's easier to just outrun them. When they are around, you can't spray. | ::::{{Gripe}}Pay and Spray has become almost useless. When no cops are around, it's easier to just outrun them. When they are around, you can't spray. | ||

::::{{Gripe}}If you would attempt to fight or run away from a mugger, you're likely to get shot and eventually end up getting killed. If you wanna stay alive, then your only solution is to hand him your money, and your life is spared. | ::::{{Gripe}}If you would attempt to fight or run away from a mugger, you're likely to get shot and eventually end up getting killed.

{{Gripe}}Cops do not initiate a car chase to pursue other criminals, much like in [[GTA San Andreas]], which heavily detracts realism. | {{Gripe}}Cops do not initiate a car chase to pursue other criminals, much like in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas|GTA San Andreas]], which heavily detracts realism. | ||
:{{Rebut}} Actually cops do initiate car chases, just not as frequently. Not only can they do that, but they can also arrest unlawful pedestrians and put them in a nearby cop car. GTA IV is more realistic compared to San Andreas, by the way. | :{{Rebut}} Actually cops do initiate car chases, just not as frequently.

::{{Gripe}}But I don't see other criminals driving and performing drive-bys to cops while being chased. All they do is peerform foot pursuit and catch a criminal only. This pulls realism away. | ::{{Gripe}}But I don't see other criminals driving and performing drive-bys to cops while being chased. All they do is peerform foot pursuit and catch a criminal only.

::::{{Rebut}}What if you had an expensive car and some carjackers jacked you? That happened to me in [[GTA III]] and [[GTA Liberty City Stories]] a lot.

[[Rebut]] In GTA Vice City, I was in a pizza stack with a Fire Truck outside, some guy stole it. I did watch a guy steal a car in Bohan ONCE. | [[Rebut]] In GTA Vice City, I was in a pizza stack with a Fire Truck outside, some guy stole it. I did watch a guy steal a car in Bohan ONCE. | ||

{{Gripe}}You cannot perform a hand-to-hand combat against an officer. Niko is forced to raise his hands up at gunpoint, thus halting the combat engagement. Also, if you shoot an officer, you'd end up havin a 3-star wanted level and will have the cop cars swarm in on you. | {{Gripe}}You cannot perform a hand-to-hand combat against an officer.
