Players thought secret snitches were tipping off cops in Vice City — here's what actually happens.
The 'Police Informants' myth claimed that random pedestrians meeting with police on the street were secretly reporting crimes, with ties to the Washington Beach Police Station and the Enforcement Nexus. In reality, these are just normal pedestrian-police interactions from the game's AI — pedestrians and cops can spawn near each other and exchange generic dialogue, but there's no hidden informant system or gameplay mechanic behind it.
