The Police work upon a system of [[Wanted Stars]]. If the player is noticed performing a crime (ranging from crashing into a Police car to holding up shops) he may gain a Wanted Star, bringing his Wanted Level to one of six. With a Wanted Level of one, any passing Cop will chase the player and attempt to arrest (or kill) him. With more serious crimes, higher Wanted Levels are issued, and different levels of Law Enforcement will join the pursuit, such as a [[Police Maverick|Police helicopter]], the [[FBI]] and the [[Army]]. | The Police work upon a system of [[Wanted Stars]].

If the player gets [[Busted|arrested]] by the police, there is no trial; the player loses some money and all of his weapons upon release from the nearest [[Police Station]]. Higher levels of law enforcement are not concerned with arrest, but with terminating the player. [[Wasted|Death]] is only temporary, and results in being returned to a nearby [[Hospitals|hospital]] with the loss of weapons and some money. | If the player gets [[Busted|arrested]] by the police, there is no trial; the player loses some money and all of his weapons upon release from the nearest [[Police Station]].
