GTA V: 10 Unfortunate Consequences Of Living In Los Santos

4. The Standard Of Policing Varies Wildly

Ok, it€™s an old one, but still, it has to be said. I€™ve already explained in depth the terrifying job the Police have in trying to keep a lid on Los Santos€™s ever-growing mess. But still, they really don€™t help themselves in this regard. Put simply. It€™s hilariously easy to get rid of them, and the exact manner of how you do this has troubling implications for the city of Los Santos and the Police€™s potential recruitment pool. Outside of actually having a vestige of talent and getting rid of them with actual skill, there are two sure-fire ways to shake off the fuzz in Los Santos. Option one €“ the pay and spray, which raises all sorts of questions. I mean, look at it logically €“ to buy into the subterfuge of a pay and spray, you€™ve got to accept that a man who€™s probably been bloodied and shot during a frenetic pursuit can disappear into a garage with one entrance/exit and re-appear, still in bloodied clothes, in the same model car sprayed banana yellow with bright gold rims (I€™m sure other colour schemes exist, but I just don€™t want to know about them) and the police will accept that he€™s totally someone else. The implications of this success story is that the majority of the police suffer with a) memory loss, b) shockingly terrible eyesight, and a) memory loss (I€™m so, so, sorry). Of course, this also works in reverse, where you take off a mask, hop into the same car with the same clothes and still fox the rapidly-forgetful police. But still, even this pales into insignificance when compared to just going into your house and waiting it out. I didn€™t know the police could be beaten by sheer time and audacity, but obviously so. I€™d love to know the thought process running through the cops€™ heads when they conclude that a man not appearing from a building in several hours after committing a cavalcade of murder means he must have disappeared into the ether (and totally isn€™t asleep in his easily-checkable bed), almost as much as I€™d love to see his superior officer€™s spluttering indignation over that exact thought process. Frankly it offers a pretty convincing solution for why the police department appears to be so large €“ it looks as if they€™ll accept anyone, medical ailments and low intelligence included. I think they have to €“ as already established, being an LS policeman isn€™t exactly the most mortally secure of jobs, and you€™re going to have to have plenty of people on standby if you want to keep up their incomprehensibly huge numbers. It's just a pity they keep picking the easily-fooled and visually-challenged.
