Avoid Bad Choices
In many interviews you can get up, walk out of a house or building, and force the game to auto save. Return to the interview and start it. If you make bad choices, just go back to the system's home screen or reset the game. You should be returned to the auto save before the interview.
Booze Bottles are Not Clues
Do not waste your time on things like cigarette butts, booze bottles and other things. They are solely meant to throw you off as you investigate a crime scene.
Chase Scenes
When chasing a suspect on foot or in a vehicle, hold [Camera Focus] to keep an eye on your prey. This makes chase scenes much easier.
When you get near a suspect on foot, you can press [Tackle ] repeatedly to tackle the suspect.
In a car chase, pull up alongside a driver to have your partner fire at him. If he shoots a tire, the car will slow down, emitting sparks from one wheel. A faster way to take out a driver, however, is to slam into a rear wheel, spinning the car out of control. T-boning a suspect at an intersection is another good way to take him out.
Avoid Criticism While Driving
If you are tired of listening to your partner criticize your driving, simply leave him and do not give him a chance to get in the car as you take off. He will appear when you arrive at the destination.

Red Dead Redemption Reference
In the Silk Stock Murder, after you investigate the long blood trail leading onto the roof, examine the body and find all the clues. You will be returned to your car. Instead of leaving, turn around and investigate the alley behind you. You will find a trash can with a cowboy hat in it, which Red Dead Redemption players may recognize as belonging to one John Marston.
