In Schedule 1, the police have the vision of an eagle because they can spot you from so far away, even in the middle of the night. When you run around during curfew time, you’ll see a “?” icon near the office, which is slowly picking up on your location.

They don’t really move during this time, but if you stay in the officer’s line of sight, you’ll see a red circle around the “?” icon. Once it becomes full, the police will chase you.

At the top of your screen, you’ll see the “Under Arrest” icon, as in the image above. Pay attention to the color of the Under Arrest icon. If it starts fading away, it means you are successfully escaping from the cops. If no change, they are still actively chasing you.

The best way to escape the police is to run in the opposite direction from the officer who caught you and look for the nearest alley. The trick is turning to buildings and objects to obstruct their vision. Even if you choose not to turn and keep running in a straight line even when they are chasing you, you won’t get caught because you are faster.

Wait for the Under Arrest sign to disappear when it starts fading. This is important because you can’t enter your properties if you are under arrest. Even if they can’t chase you down, you’ll still have to wait before entering properties.

Since they are so annoying, why not beat the living hell out of them? In Schedule 1, you can beat the cops using any tool, but if you lose the fight, you’ll get arrested. Wait until you reach the Warehouse and have unlocked the arms dealer.

You can buy an M1911 or other weapons that are better equipped to beat those cops. They can be pretty expensive, especially since you need to buy the ammunition, but it’ll be worth it.

If you want to avoid violence, you can always hire more dealers so you don’t have to deal during curfew hours.
