The term 'Busted' refers to the player being arrested by the police or any other type of law enforcement in a Grand Theft Auto game as a result of having a wanted level. As wanted levels progress higher, the law enforcement is more likely to attempt to waste the player rather than arrest them, although if given the chance, they will still attempt to pull the player out of their vehicle.

As wanted levels progress higher, the law enforcement is more likely to attempt to waste the player rather than arrest them, although if given the chance, they will still attempt to pull the player out of their vehicle. Many factors can contribute to this:
* Being pulled from a vehicle, or having the player's vehicle door successfully opened by a member of law enforcement.
* Being beaten several times by a law enforcement official carrying a Nightstick in quick succession.
* A military or police officer managing to pull open the hatch of a player-controlled Rhino.
* Being on the ground when a member of law enforcement is within a certain radius. This tends to happen if the player engages in melee combat with a member of law enforcement, and is knocked to the ground.
* Being knocked to the ground while attempting to steal a law enforcement vehicle, with an agent inside.
