How to unlock the Not So Hasty achievement in L.A. Noire - Definitive Guide

As the achievement states, you can only unlock this achievement as an LAPD detective, so trying to do this as a beat cop at the beginning won't work. I unlocked the achievement in the case "A marriage made in heaven" during the traffic desk.
When you cut across the street during the chase and the suspect cuts right, stop and point your gun at him. There are other instances where you can do this during this chase, but this is where I personally got him. What you need to do to fire a warning shot is to aim at the suspect running away and you will notice a small circle start to fill as you aim at the suspect.
Once it fills, a cutscene will play out and you should get the achievement. It is important to note that you must not manually shot the suspect yourself as that will not work.

If you mess up, you can simply catch up to him and let him shoot the innocent civilian that he holds hostage in order to restart the checkpoint. It will say "case failed" but I didn't notice that it has any sort of affect on a 5 star case rating. The achievement will unlock after the ending cutscene when properly executed.

In the game there are several occasions where you can get this.
GameGod03's suggestion is good, but in case you missed that one, you have at least two more opportunities.
*The Gas Man case. Where you want to talk to Reginald Varley, but he runs off. It's in the Elysian Field area, so there is a lot of space to fire a warning shot.
*The Daylight Robbery crime case in Vice. Some guy shoots his revolver empty after a failed robbery of a liquor store and flees. If you keep him in your aiming sights, Phelps will fire a warning shot to stop him.

I found the best place to get this is in the "A marriage made in heaven" during the traffic desk.
However, unlike the solution above there is a place a lot earlier in the episode

The achievement will pop a few seconds after the animation and the gave autosaves

Cases: A Marriage Made In Heaven [Traffic] & The Gas Man [Arson].
Street Crimes: Masked Gunman [Traffic], Running Battle [Homicide], Misunderstanding [Homicide] & Daylight Robbery [AD Vice].

This achievement is a little more tricky than the others. Again you'll need a fleeing suspect but in most cases or street crimes, you won't have your gun out to fire off a warning shot. 

Firing a warning shot can be done in a few cases or street crimes, so play through until your suspect makes a run for it and you have your gun in hand as you chase after them. To pull off a warning shot you need to make sure your suspect is on a straight running path as this makes it easier.

Once everything is lined up, hold  and aim your reticle dot at your suspect. You'll then notice a circle will form and start to fill up. Make sure you don't move your reticle off the suspect otherwise the circle will reset. Once the circle has been filled, Cole will fire the warning shot automatically and your suspect will halt in his tracks!

There are times where Cole will have to apprehend a suspect alive, this will be the time where Cole will take out his weapon and you will have to aim down the suspect. Once your cross-hair is on the suspect you will see a meter start to fill the circle; it fills up Clockwise. Once the meter is filled, a short cutscene will happen and Cole will shoot one in the air, stopping the fleeing suspect. You can do this in most street crimes you do or later in the game on a story case. You will get a chance to try this out when you are a Patrolman.

Helpful hint: A side mission that suits this trophy perfectly is the "Daylight Robbery" mission available during the first ad vice case: Thank you dz06lt for the tip.

This trophy can be obtained when you are chasing a suspect and Cole has already removed his gun from his holster. Point your sight at the person being pursued and the circle will begin to fill clockwise. You need to keep the runner at gunpoint the entire time the sight is filling.

While chasing a criminal, press and point it at the back and such a circle will appear there, you need to hold it until it is completely filled (that is, we cannot run, but we stand and aim, so be careful) About 4 seconds are needed, if he leaves the sight, then everything will start again

In The Gasman, when you first encounter Reginald Varley, he will run away from you. Aim at it for a few seconds without shooting or moving your aim. Cole will shoot up and the achievement is yours.

Received a trophy while patrolling the city in free ride mode. When the criminal was climbing up the drainpipe, he pointed the gun at him and waited until the circle was completely filled.

In the side quest Daylight Robbery ("In broad daylight") in the Department of Morals you can get this achievement - the criminal does not run very fast. It’s most convenient to wait until after the first yards he runs across the road - he doesn’t turn anywhere, and calmly catches his sight until the entire circle is filled.

This achievement can be obtained not only in this mission. Later in the story and in street crimes, this can be done more than once.

There is still a pretty good place to get this trophy. There will be an additional task in the Morals department - Daylight Robbery. It works out quite easily there.

The trophy can be obtained by completing the task "A Marriage Made in Heaven" while working in the Transportation Department. After interviewing the bartender and finding out over the phone who owns the car, you need to go to William Shelton's house. After which the car chase will begin. You need to constantly follow him, after which he will park the car near Union Station and run inside. This is where you can take aim.

A small addition: during the chase, Cole must be with a gun, and the target must be unarmed.
Got this trophy during the "Gasman" story mission of the Arson Department. Before that, I tried unsuccessfully... We drive up to the house where Reginald Varley works, and the chase immediately begins. The place is straight, comfortable, Varly doesn’t run particularly fast, so it worked out right the first time!!! The trophy is given after the scene of detaining and packing the suspect into jail.
