So scrubbing through, the police still have a lot of reactionary issues which makes them somewhat erratic and unpredictable to certain degrees. There is also the issue that once a chase has concluded the AI doesn't switch back into general "patrol" scripting, which breaks a lot of the game's interactive means.

Pretty much. It's like they no longer have patrol AI and still use chase AI (or investigation AI) that is permanently on non-emergency driving that allows them to disregard traffic laws and may crash into things. It's possible the developers forgot to put the patrol AI back in place for patrol and dispatched units once a chase on you/NPC is concluded.

You should consider narration in your analysis videos

Hahaha it's really funny that they just blast through civilians that are in the way.

How bout a summary man? Good on you with this level of analysis, but many people are not gonna sit through an hour on this.

The police system now is perfectly adequate. It's not a great feature, but it's not horribly immersion breaking like it was previously

The best one is where you crash your car, even slightly and the police response is just to kill you.
