Best ways to evade police in Schedule 1

To get busted in Schedule 1 means you lose product, progress, and cash. The police lurk everywhere. They do curfew sweeps, random searches, and undercover stings that can wreck your empire. But using some of the right moves, you can simply vanish before getting cuffed. To master evasion helps to keep you within the game. So, it is better to learn it before than later. Here is all you need to do to ensure staying ahead of the law.


An easy way to avoid any trouble is to not attract it. The cops in the blue uniforms patrol the hotspots, bridges, and streets. If you linger close to them, they will search you. So, keep a distance, especially near the western bridge, so you can stay safe.
Additionally, carry the illegal items in separate inventory slots. The gaps between the products help reduce the odds of complete confiscation. Never pickpocket or deal in the line of sight of an officer. Even skateboards can be risky as their noise can draw unwanted attention. So, move smart and stay low. With it, you will rarely be stopped.
Note: Western Bridge is a guaranteed police checkpoint.

If you are spotted by an office, act smart. The moment the officer’s detection circle appears, make sure you sprint away. To break the line of sight is important. For it,

The red Wanted meter would fade once you remain hidden long enough.
The safe houses can also be the perfect escape route. The cope would not follow you inside. So, bolt for the one if it’s nearby. If not, you can use the parking lot trick— lure in the officers up the ramp and then jump down. They will get stuck, and it will buy you enough time to disappear. Fighting back can also work, but if you are on the highly wanted list, it can include bullets or tasers. So, try to avoid it until it's necessary.

When running doesn’t seem to be enough, vanish. The Fat Dragon Chinese Restaurant will be ideal. Just crouch behind the ledge, and the cops will lose you fast. The dumpsters are another solid choice, especially within the back alleys.
For some advanced escapes, you can find hidden pathways, like behind the pink building ledge on Sauerkarut Supreme Road. The cops always take a lot of time to navigate them, and it gives you a perfect clean getaway. So, stay creative and let the unexpected spots do the magic.

At times, you might get nabbed. The fines will be dependent on your crimes. The curfew breaks are cheap, but if you have assaulted the cops, it will drain a lot of cash. So, protect your earnings by banking the money before you go out on a risky job. If you are broke when you get arrested, you won’t lose anything.
To stay safe in Schedule 1 means to think ahead. Avoid, hide, or escape, but do not panic. Master the tricks discussed above, and the police will never be able to slow you down.
