How to unlock the Escape Artist achievement in Grand Theft Auto III – The Definitive Edition - Definitive Guide

Actually quite easy:

Police bribes are those little, floating blue icons with a golden badge on it. They are all over the map, some placed obvious, some a bit more hidden. Pick 20 of them up in total to get the achievement.

Choose 2 or 3 you think are easy to find for you. Get into a car, run over a couple pedestrians, get a wanted level. After that, collect the bribe and restart the process. The bribes have a bit of a cool down time and won't spawn back immediately. You are allowed to die or to get arrested, this will respawn all bribes , but beware that you will lose all your weapons.

Edit:
After completing 10 or rather 20 vigilante mission you will get 2 bribes to your hideout. Also, manually saving will respawn all used bribes.
That being said, it's nearly impossible to miss this achievement as you go through the game. My solution was more or less intended for those who wanted the achievement as soon as possible.

Feel free to drop any comments or additional tips below!

Killing 20 criminals in Vigilante on each island will also spawn police bribes at your hideout, 2 for each island you complete Vigilante on, meaning you could get your wanted level up around a hideout then quickly grab all the bribes.

It's been ages since I played this. I couldn't figure out how to bribe the cops. Thanks so much!

Manually saving the game at a safe house respawns all bribes which makes this achievement pass a bit more quickly.

You can also park a police car in front of your house, hitting it with a baseball bat gives you 1 star making this even easier

Is there a way to track how many bribes you've used? I'm sure I've used 20 already but not unlocking and this achievement doesn't seem to track either.

As far as I know there is no way to track it.
I had some problems recently were achievements unlocked once the game was fully closed and then re-entered. Maybe try that.

But if nothing works, this is also quick and easy done on a new save file.

It helped, tnx. What a silly achievement, making you waste time for unfun actions.

There are 3 bribe stars in the Chinatown area: one in an alley, one on a basketball court, one on the roof of a diner. I did this: when approaching the first one, I made a violation, took a star and went to the next one. Then I went to save, after which all the stars were restored. And so on in a circle. +/- 20 minutes to complete the trophy.

For 10 criminals caught on each island during a police mission, they give one bribe near the shelter (it is not necessary to destroy 10 criminals at a time). For 100% progress, you need to catch 20 criminals on each island - a total of 60 NPCs. Accordingly, + 6 bribe stars near your shelter. And you won’t need to look for them all over the city.
