Every single police car in the entire city will respond to the exact same crime in progress, ignoring all others, creating a traffic black hole, and leaving you with no police.
Things like that could not help but have been noticed. Somewhere there is a bug report: "All police cars respond to every crime". It is marked something like "WONTFIX - by design" or "WONTFIX - no time before release" or "WISHLIST".
That is all anyone needs to know about the game to judge it.
