Crime Detection & Records
Behind Bars tracks crimes, witnesses, and long-term records so consequences carry forward.
Detection pipeline
- The game detects offenses (assault, drug possession, manslaughter, and more).
- Witnesses log what they saw and feed reports into your rap sheet.
- Contraband detection runs whenever parole officers search you.
Rap sheet & persistence
- Your rap sheet records crimes, parole history, and violations.
- Each arrest updates the record, which can scale future penalties.
Wanted level UI
- The wanted level UI gives a quick read on how much heat you are carrying.
- Higher heat increases pressure from law enforcement systems.
Tips
- If you are trying to lay low, avoid repeated offenses that stack your record quickly.
