Escaping car pursuits: 
When you are supposed to flee from other cars shooting at you, look for big open 
spaces like the Staples Center parking lot and drive through them. The people 
chasing you will stay on the road and go all the way around, giving you a good 
chance to escape.

To escape easily while in pursuit, drive to the nearest highway. Try to get a good 
lead from the enemies before you do this. Drive up the branch of the highway, and 
keep straight. Do not leave the highway. Enemies are not able to get on the 
highway when you do this. They stick to the main road. Keep straight and 
eventually you will gain your points and end the mission.

When trying to escape from an enemy in a Rush mission, take out the cars that 
are chasing you and they will not follow. This takes about thirty seconds.

To escape a chase, find a parking lot or a park and go into the middle of it. Once 
there, enable the "bullet time" mode and shoot out the tires of your opponents car. 
For a quick escape, wait until they turn around and shoot their licensee plate to 
blow them up.

When you start, drive normally until the car chasing you is almost bumper to 
bumper but next to you. Then, stop as soon as it seems it is past your back 
wheels. Go into first person view in the car. Aim for the tires and blow them out. 
When your ''bullet time'' runs out, start aiming at the back of the car or shoot the 
engine. When the car seems completely on fire, make your getaway.

Hint-Blow up cars easily:
Drive up behind a car and hold R to go into "bullet time". Then, aim at the license 
plate and fire. Most of the time it will take a single shot. For cargo trucks, aim 
under the passenger side and slightly to the back and fire. This makes stopping 
street racers and other people easy.

Stop street racers:
While following a speeding car or truck, aim directly beneath the back bumper so 
that your bullet hits the bottom of the car. Do this repeatedly and the car will 
explode. Note: Do not do this if you are trying to get a Good Cop rating.

Stop carjackings:
When your enemy is escaping by stealing a getaway car, kick them when they are 
pulling out the victim to stop them.

Getting enemies to surrender:
When you are doing a crime patrol involving people with guns, fire a warning shot 
and slowly walk up to them. If they are still holding their gun, either walk up to 
them and wait until they shoot you, or do a neutralized shot.

Drive around impound lot:
In the impound lot where you can choose from the four cars you unlock, go in 
reverse before you hit the gas and you can around the lot.

Flying cars:
Flip a car by a bridge and it will fly into the air and give you a score for highest air, 
etc.

Slide across hoods:
To do this, you must be running at a medium speed (if running at full speed, nick 
will jump over the car). Run until your are right next to the car then press Jump. 
Nick will slide across the hood. This works on any vehicle.

Spotting illegal drugs:
To avoid wasting time frisking innocents, look for people that walk differently.

When Nick says "hmm", check that person for weapons or drugs.

More damage:
When an opponent is dazed, you can hit them hard into the wall with a finisher to 
do even more damage.

Deadly knife throw:
In some situations when a enemy drops a knife, you can pick it and throw it. If 
thrown correctly, it will impale their forehead, killing them.

Restore health:
Learn where the impound garages are located. When you get low on health, just 
visit the garage. You will not only get a fresh car, your health will be full again.

Easy arrests:
When in a police car, press Right to turn on the lights. Drive to get some speed, 
but do not go too fast. Press L to jump out of the care and the lights will stay on . 
Perps who are guilty will sometimes surrender when they see the lights and hear 
the siren.

Easy knock out:
When chasing an opponent, shoot them with a weak gun a few times until they are 
almost dead. Put away your guns and fight when you catch up to them. This 
makes it easier to defeat an enemy.

Increasing Cop rank:
Go around checking everyone for drugs and weapons to get +1 Good Cop.

Go to the Hancock Park area in the middle of the map. On a street corner at 2nd 
and Citrus Ave., you can frisk just about anyone close to or moving to the 
intersection and almost always finds drugs or weapons on them.

Go to Ozone Ave. in Venice. Just about every person there will have weapons or 
drugs.

Go to 4th and Hill. Just about everyone there has drugs or guns. 

To increase your Good or Bad Cop rank easily, replay a stealth mission and 
choose your attack accordingly.

To increase your Good Cop rank, walk on any street near from somebody. If they 
look at you, it means that they are clean for drugs or weapons. If they do not 
look, they have illegal things like guns or drugs. Arrest them and you will hear a 
sound of good cop. Note: Do not try this with people who are talking by a phone. 

There is a street where almost all of the people you arrest will either be carrying 
drugs or weapons. To get there, take Highway 10 east or until you get to where 
Highway 10 and Highway 405 cross over. It will be near the east side of the map. 
Take Highway 405 south. When you merge with Highway 405, take the very first 
road off Highway 405. It will be backwards, but it should lead to National Blvd. 
When you get off Highway 405, you should turn left. After you pass Sawtelle Blvd., 
go down until you are about slightly halfway past Sawtelle Blvd. Get out of your 
car and frisk someone. They should have drugs or weapons. 

Play a stealth mission with a lot of people and use only stun attacks, then complete 
the stage. Wait until the auto save is finished. Then, exit to the main menu and 
resume the game. Play the stealth mission again. Repeat until you get the desired 
good cop rank.

In the Hancock Park area on Highland Blvd. between 3rd and 2nd Street, mostly 
everyone has illegal drugs or weapons. The street is located just above the "O: in 
Hancock Park on the map. 

In Hancock Park on Highland Blvd., between the white picket fence and the green 
shrubs, most people you stop will have illegal drugs and guns, even those on their 
cell phones.

On Second Street between Irving Bvld. and Lorraine Blvd., most everyone you 
stop will have drugs or guns.

Start a fight with a pedestrian, and when you stun them, knock them over with a 
special move. Before they get up, take out your guns. Once they are standing, 
they will surrender and you can go in for the arrest. Note: this will not work if the 
pedestrian is carrying a gun; frisk them before you start fighting.

Decreasing Cop rank:
Simply start killing people. When you kill about thirty people, the S.W.A.T. team 
comes after you.

Hint-S.W.A.T. team:
To get the S.W.A.T. team on you, kill a number of civilians (about thirty). The 
S.W.A.T. team will come after you in black vans. 

Hint-Break fence:
If you are stuck behind a fence that can be broken but do not have a car to break 
it with, Run at it and press B. This will cause you to dive through the fence, 
breaking it and freeing yourself.

Get past fence:
When in a blocked off place with a fence on the other side, go up to it and face it. 
Do not press any buttons. The game will put you back on the other side within five 
seconds. It is easier to do this than hit the fence and not get through. 

Defeating General Kim:
To defeat General Kim on the building rooftop, start the fight by running up to him. 
Either clothesline or slide kick him. He may block it, but there may a chance to hit 
him. After this, start kicking or punching him. He will block most of your attacks, 
but you will eventually throw a successful punch or kick. Then, keep attacking with 
that same attack until he gets dazed or starts blocking. If he blocks, switch attacks 
(for example, from punches to kicks or vice versa). Keep attacking and doing the 
same thing. When he gets dazed, you can either grapple him or do a finishing 
move. He may start to attack when you start a new combo or may attack you 
when you switch between attacks; be ready to block when he does this. It is 
unlikely that he will land a successful attack in the middle of your combo, as you 
will have struck first. Take advantage of this. If you want to do a finishing move, 
make sure that you do it near the walls so that it inflicts more damage. When he is 
on the floor, try stomping on him. You may miss most of the time but you may 
land a successful stomp in. It is also ideal to have a Good Cop rating when fighting 
him.

To defeat General Kim on the airport runway, you must have the highest Good 
Cop rating. After getting this, you can fight in a similar way as you did on the 
building rooftop. Your goal is to get him as dizzy as possible. When you start the 
fight, look around the area for an iron pipe. When you find one, try attacking him 
with it while trying to defend yourself. When he gets dizzy, do the move where 
Nick swings the pipe over the head. It may do some extra damage, although you 
may not see the difference. Keep repeating this until the fight is over.

Defeating ancient Wu's concubine: 
The easiest way to defeat ancient Wu's concubine is to run to the ropes and do a 
running attack. The rope will break. Go back and fight the concubine. Force them 
to fight where you broke the ropes and you can hit them off.

Defeating Wu's dragon:
When the dragon is about to use his fire attack, use you manual aim to shoot it in 
the mouth, thus avoiding its fire and tail attacks. 

To kill Wu's dragon while he is swimming in lava, switch to manual-aim. Aim for 
the dragon's eye. This will hurt him.

Defeating zombie during Wu's mission: 
After beating up the chefs, a zombie will appear. Go near a stove and kick it. 
Hopefully, you have not destroyed it while fighting the chefs. The stove will 
explode and both of you will catch fire. The zombie will get greater damage than 
you. Repeat this with the second stove. If the zombie is still alive, knock him into 
the fire. Note: It is not possible to kill the zombie with physical attacks.

Damage multiple enemies:
When fighting multiple enemies, kicking will damage more then one when you get 
the chance. Also, you can send enemies flying at other ones. This will damage the 
one who just got another person thrown at them.

Slaughterhouse mission: Cannibals: 
While walking around this mission, you will eventually see human bodies on the 
conveyor belt. If you shoot a body, all extra ice will be blown away.

Spa Infiltration mission: Ten good deeds:
Good judo chop (Good Cop) everybody on the level. At the boiler room, go in the 
middle and chop the man in the chair. Go around the boiler and chop the guard. At 
the end of the level, go to your right and chop the man in the chair, then go to the 
left and chop that man, being careful not to hit any buckets. Then, end the level 
and repeat. 

Drift location:
The Staples Center parking lot is the perfect place to drift. It is very big and open. 

Get into the airport landing strip: 
One of the car parks at Airport Ave. has a little gap at the far left side. Go through 
the gap and you will be in the airport landing strip.

Vigilante 8 reference: 
During one of the street crimes, the woman in the radio says that a stunt car has 
been stolen during the shooting of Vigilante 8: The Movie. Vigilante 8 was a game 
done by Activision for the Nintendo 64 and PlayStation.

Movie reference:
In the game, there is a billboard that reads "True Crime: Streets Of L.A.: The 
Movie, Fall 2005".

Rosa reference:
Under one of the highway overpasses, you can see your partner's name, Rosa, in 
graffiti on the wall.

Rockstar spoof:
There is a billboard similar to the one announcing the 2005 movie. However, this 
one has a J with a star similar to the logo for Rockstar games. The billboard also 
says "Jockstrap" in a similar font to that of the Rockstar logo. The picture on the 
billboard that is of a pink jockstrap.

Business spoofs:
Some places throughout the game are spoofs of real businesses. For example "OK 
Price" and "Burger&Fries" are spoofs of "Best Buy" and "Burger King". 

Unlimited ammo 
You can exploit a game bug to effectively give Kang unlimited ammo with a gun of 
your choice. This trick will only work in the free-roam missions, as other missions 
won't allow you to holster your gun as the trick requires. 

Pick up the gun for which you'd like unlimited ammo, and then pick up a secong 
gun to move the first gun to Nick's right hand. When your right-handed gun is low 
on ammunition, holster your guns and press R1 + R2 to fire a shot into the air 
(just once). Unholster your weapons and the right-handed weapon should have a 
full clip of ammo. Repeat the trick as necessary.
