Police popping
It happened just right now. I was drifting on the racetrack at night, with no police in sight, and as soon as i did hit heat lvl.5, a Police dodge popped right inside the track, and i crashed into hi...

I just responded to a post about a similar issue. There are some bugs with how the cop system works. I've had cops just randomly appear on top of me and they react like I'm at a higher level heat than I am. It's not often, but it's more likely to happen when I have a high rep amount built up and haven't had a cop chase yet. They just pop up out of nowhere.
Also I just found this and... well. Yeah things are broken right now. 63 cops
@prot8to Is it just me, or hasn't this been playtested enough internally? I mean, any blind person can even hear how broken the heat system is.
I just did two night time drives... the first one I got to level 4 with relative ease. Second time, I almost threw my controller against the wall... not even 3.5 being chased by 7 cops just slamming left and right and in turns, and not even a garage in short distance!!
I think the problem lies in the high rep and no cop chase started yet, like you said.
If I take lower tier races and slowly build up rep, the cops stay managable (from 0 to 1 to 2 and finally 3 or 4), but when I do higher tier races (more towards my power level) I jump from 0 to 2 to 4. And they get VERY agressive.
So the cops don't react accordingly, something is really off.
Heat level 4 is heat level 4, no matter how fast you go up with the races. Their behaviour should stay the same.
So yeah, something feels "broken".

I actually wonder if it's broken or intended this way. Like maybe a higher nightly rep buildup causes a higher heat? It would be nice if they had just said this if that were true. It would definitely explain some things. Yeah I still think there are things broken about the whole system but who knows if rep is directly related to heat. I mean I've had really low rep or no rep for the night and my heat level wouldn't go above 1 no matter how many chases I got in.
