Busted is a term that has been used throughout [[GTA]] games.
=== GTA1 and GTA: London ===
In these games you will be busted when police touch you, or you've been pulled out of your car. You will lose all your [[GTA1 weapons|weapons]] and [[multiplier]]s. You can prevent losing weapons and multipliers by obtaining a special jail key card before getting busted.
=== GTA2 ===
In [[GTA2]] police will hit you until you lost all your health points, but instead of dying you will be busted. Only policemen will try to arrest you, [[SWAT|SWAT Team]], [[FBI]] and [[Army]] will try to kill you. You can get busted easier if your health is low, and vice versa - after being hit by a policeman but not busted, you could be easily [[wasted]]. When you get busted the events are similar to GTA1: you lost weapons and multipliers, but when having more than x2 multiplier you will be left with x2. You could find "[[Get Out Of Jail Free Card]]" [[GTA2 pickups|pickup]] and have your weapons and multi's with you.
=== GTA3 Era ===
In [[GTA3 era]] games the scene appears on your screen when a [[police|cop]]/[[SWAT]]/[[FBI]] points his gun at you. This usually happens when you car gets stuck and a cop is able to run to your car door
and open it. Other occasions can be when you fall of a bike or are knocked to the ground, cops will take advantage of this and bust you.
On GTA3 you could avoid being busted by parking you car against a wall and looking away from it by pressing L2/R2 and this would lock the door.
As your wanted level increases and you have the [[SWAT]]/[[FBI]]/[[army]] after you you're more likely to be [[Wasted]] as they tend to shoot, and have better weapons, but any law enforcement agency officer can bust you.
The outcome of being Busted is losing all your weapons and $100 as a bribe to be let out. This is similar to what happens when you're wasted.
