Leonida's police are bringing backup with four legs. In a hands-off demo described by Edge magazine and reported by Dexerto on 29 October, a police dog chased Jason down and pinned him after a brief chase.
Edge also reports that police spike strips are "almost invisible" at night and stop a vehicle outright instead of just slowing it down. Stingers have shown up in almost every GTA game, but they have usually been easy to dodge.
According to the same report, police receive descriptions of Jason and Lucia's outfits and their cars. Destroying a car removes one piece of evidence, but officers will stay suspicious if the outfits stay the same.
Escaping a wanted level looks less like outrunning a star meter and more like breaking a trail. Ditching the car may not be enough on its own; a change of clothes could matter as much as a change of wheels.
