the police should remember your car after the wanted stars disappear

Escaping the police should not instantly erase the fact that fifteen officers saw the same bright yellow car. After a serious chase, that vehicle should stay flagged for a while. Drive it past a patrol too soon and they look twice. Leave it in a garage, repaint it, change the plate or use another car until the heat fades. This would make vehicle choice part of the crime instead of every stolen supercar becoming anonymous the moment the minimap stops flashing. The system should be forgiving for minor chaos and stronger after major jobs. I do not want permanent punishment. I want the city to remember something for longer than thirty seconds. A wanted system is more interesting when escape changes what you do next.
