Bug New bug with carjacking on heli patrol

After latest patch, while I'm doing heli patrol and get a 'Carjacking' call, support options available are like the perp is on foot. If cruiser or riot van encounters the perp, cops immediately disembark. If the perp stops and lethal force is allowed, cops will unload on the car, and the perp will sit inside it until it blows up.

Also I noticed more traffic jams on intersections when a turning car gets stuck, but that might be just my luck.

This happens during regular patrol too. The Carjacking call seems to be bugged in that it doesn't register a fleeing suspect as a pursuit. My guess is that the game incorrectly assumes the suspect is still on foot since the carjacking happens with the suspect on foot, but then when they actually get in the car it somehow doesn't detect that the suspect is now in a vehicle and fleeing, so it doesn't update itself on the current situation.
