Police: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 19:30, 19 August 2006

The police (also known as cops or pigs) are present in all Grand Theft Auto games.

The role of the Police ingame is to make crimes difficult for the player - and to provide a reliable enemy and a challenge in many missions.

In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Officers Frank Tenpenny and Eddie Pulaski try to frame the protagonist Carl Johnson for the murder of another cop.

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.

If the player gets arrested by the police, there is no trial; the player loses some money and all of his weapons upon release.

-The '''police''' (aka the ''popo'', the ''fuzz'', the ''pigs'', or simply the ''cops'') are a bunch of fascists that try to arrest the anti-hero in all [[Grand Theft Auto]] games. Until [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] proves otherwise, there are no trials and the player loses money and all of his weapons upon release.
