This desktop documentary demonstrates the extent to which the cultural imaginary concerning the real world police is projected into the game space. Trying to resolve the question, why cops don’t fight each other in Grand Theft Auto V, the filmmaker engages the “modding scene” – a community of people and tools that enable modifications to the game world. Several unsuccessful attempts lead them to conduct an exhaustive forensic analysis of the games source code.
