But my sides still hurt from laughing at that one.<br /><br />Regarding the "Evading Arrest" charge, I also agree that it's silly. But I checked out a walkthrough and even with the drunk driver you can charge him with a lot of things that he didn't do...is this some kind of meta-commentary on abuse of discretion and the powers and privileges that come with being a police officer? Is it Jim Walls subtly giving the player the chance to make ethical choices in the context of a mere video game? Or is it just a programming oversight?<br /><br />I don't know, but you can get points for each successful charge, so who the heck knows?Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16946742995687817751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-81986029551832360052017-07-24T15:06:25.499+10:002017-07-24T15:06:25.499+10:00From your first screenshot...

In the final reload he got out of the car, left the gun in its holster and hit the ground with his hands behind his back when ordered.<br /><br />Judge: Well Alex, what kind of evidence do you have that he evaded arrest?<br />Alex: Well, he shot me dead twice... <br />Judge: ...<br />Alex: ...

He KNOWS it's involved with drugs. He just happened across it. <br /><br />The gun found on the perp raises more reasonable suspicion that something bad is going down. Technically he COULD have waited to get a warrant. But usually cops have a little more leeway on traffic stops if I remember correctly. <br /><br />Lastly, regarding Miranda rights, if I remember correctly a perp won't walk BECAUSE rights weren't read, but a prosecutor can't use what the perp says against them at trial. There are exceptions of course, but this may lead to an unsuccessful trial. <br /><br />Whew...enough of this. It's like I'm back in law school...Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16946742995687817751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-75992612314119749522017-07-22T21:22:48.467+10:002017-07-22T21:22:48.467+10:00Yeah I have no idea what was appropriate procedure...Yeah I have no idea what was appropriate procedure for 1992. I guess Bonds gets to search the car because you end up working this case, but you'd think you would have to call in someone more senior (like you do with the crashed car fatality earlier on).Andy_Panthrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18231815646876343380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-69957229809829485342017-07-22T13:18:02.304+10:002017-07-22T13:18:02.304+10:00I didn't get to open the trunk either (I even ...I didn't get to open the trunk either (I even tried using my nightstick on it to no avail) because I didn't notice the button in the glove box<br /><br />This game makes me feel dirty about the way I gather evidence without gloves because I've seen too many CSI shows.TBDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07010934567583163570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-53599156379221043182017-07-22T03:12:17.284+10:002017-07-22T03:12:17.284+10:00Forgot to say, but it took me a few attempts to ge...Forgot to say, but it took me a few attempts to get every action in order, because almost any mistake and the guy will shoot you dead.Andy_Panthrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18231815646876343380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-81918422192022648502017-07-22T03:10:41.855+10:002017-07-22T03:10:41.855+10:00I spent a while reloading and approaching the loca...I spent a while reloading and approaching the location of the domestic disturbance to try and figure it out, it's disappointing really, because I felt like I was missing something or doing something wrong.<br /><br />On the other hand, I'm gonna need to replay that section again it seems since I forgot to look in the boot of the car and didn't read him his rights (which I'm pretty sure you don't actually need to do in real life, it just makes anything he says at that moment inadmissible, but since you have a stolen car and tons of drugs I think that would be more than enough to convict).Andy_Panthrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18231815646876343380noreply@blogger.com
