Features
ARREST WARRANTS
Arrest Warrants are a new part of the gameplay, escaping the police isn’t enough anymore - now you must continue to avoid police or risk resuming a chase you thought you escaped. Once wanted the police can identify you and your vehicle if you let them get too close. Once you escape you will have an Arrest Warrant issued for you and/or your vehicle and police will be looking for those descriptions.
BETTER CHASES
With Better Chases the police have a much larger range of responses based on your actions. A chase begins with a limited police response and depending how you try to evade police will determine the force used against you. Drive recklessly by hitting pedestrians or police and you will quickly find the chase has become much more serious.

- Arrest Warrants are saved and loaded with the game.
BETTER CHASES
With Better Chases the police have a much larger range of responses based on your actions. A chase begins with a limited police response and depending how you try to evade police will determine the force used against you.

- "Better Chases+.pdb" is recommended but not required and goes in the same location as the same name dll file above. It helps debug issues by giving exact lines numbers during errors
- Install Stolen (optional) if you want police to react to driving stolen vehicles
Known Issues
- Police will shoot you with stun guns and not arrest you above 1 star - you must use the surrender feature because Rockstar

definitely love this, but my one thought would be to add a bribe option, if you get a high arrest warrent you could pay to remove your warrent, much like RDR2 had.

@nmr2992 Yea this mod is amazing but this bug is really annoying. Totally immersion-breaking IMO

Great mod, but can you tell me in detail how to configure peds other than the protagonist？

POLICE is tooooo exaggerated in this mod, if you are standing alone in an alley and you pull your gun out there goes the message saying i have a GUN

I really want to play this mod, from the description it sounds like a true top tier must have mod.
It's a shame the mod seemingly has some pretty huge issues which makes it (IMO unplayable). Hopefully the author (or someone else) will one day fix/develop this mod further as it has potential to be one of the best GTA V mods!March 31, 2022 -
i cant play the mod i put the files in the script folder and nothing changes whit the game

Everything seems to work perfectly but one thing is when your like "alright chase over you got me" providing you don't kill anyone or shoot so they won't shoot you the police don't do anything they just all crowd around the car so really yeah the chases are better but your always going to escape as long as you stay in a car because they won't try and drag you out or anything like that.

I enjoyed the mod until I realised it reminds you when the warrant is about tot expire EVERY GODDAMN 30 MINUTES, it's basically spam. It's annoying! And it's almost the only reason I won't use this mod (don't tell me to turn off notifications, because then there won't be any other notifications, which is removing a fun part of that mod)
August 05, 2022 -
This whole mod doesn't work for me anymore because the cops don't spawn in at all! I have tried everything, but they refuse to even respond to the crime, whether it's 1 star or 5 stars!

Yeah mod isn't working for me anymore either. Worked at first, but now cops don't even really spawn in and the warrant system isn't working either.

Plans for this mod for the new 2-4 weeks...
I will be working on a 1.1.2 fix release to address some of the bugs you guys have found first, that should be done sometime this week.
1.2 work is about to begin which will take about 2-3 weeks, maybe less. Why so quick, you might ask - well in 2-3 weeks I am set to begin working with the RDE team on integrating this mod with RDE 4.0 which is nearing completion.
So what will 1.2 look like? Well I could use your thoughts and ideas on that but here is my basic outline:
4 Phases to identify a person or a vehicle with the first phase being very easy or instant for police to gain, but each phase after requires better LOS to gain. The last (4th) phase is when the person's name or vehicle's license plate (think identity) is gained an a true warrant is issued after escaping a chase. Prior to the last phase where you are identified, instead of a "warrant" being issued an "APB" will be issued based on the description the police managed to get (identity phase).
Person Identity Phases:
1. Race & Gender (White Male)
2. Clothing (Gray Suite)
3. Height & Weight (5' 11" 195lbs)
4. Name (Michael De Santa)
Vehicle Identity Phases:
1. Color & Class (Red Sports Car)
2. Make (Grotti)
3. Model (Carbonizzare)
4. Plate (888VEH) - possibly tail number for aircraft???
For phase 1-3 an "APB" will be issued and police will follow you when you match it, for example if you drive by a random police car they will try to causally follow you for awhile, but won't start a chase or "recognize" you - so you just need to not cause trouble and get a wanted level until they lose interest in you (based on how close you match the APB).
For phase 4 a "Warrant" will be issued and police will act more like they do now, they will approach/follow you based on how close you match the last description (identified phase) and once they get close enough they will identify you and a chase will resume.
Other changes:
* Police cannot identify you (phase 4) if you are wearing a mask (change license plate for vehicles)
* Each identity phase will have config settings to adjust the "difficulty" of the mod
* Player character config settings in XML for name, height, weight, race, and gender for when you play as a ped other than the 3 main story characters.
