Buggy wanted levels?

[the_freighter]

Since switching to Enhanced, I've noticed that the wanted levels are kind of buggy. For example, I stole a car (NOT a Simeon car) and had 2 stars. It then jumped to 4 stars with NOOSE and helicopters even though I didn't shoot any LSPD. Then it went back down to 2 stars, and stayed at 2 stars after I blew up a police car. Is this happening to anyone else?

yes in the Online. ive seen myself get a wanted level for literally no reason at all sometimes. i have all rival player gameplay and freemode event blips type stuff turned off in my preferences so nothing like that should be triggering it. i assume it's Dsync like every other weird problem in this game.

Wanted levels can be earned for just being in the right place at the wrong time, or wrong place at the right time, however you want to look at it.
Let us say you are at LSIA, the Bunker Supply truck spawn, you are standing anywhere between Big Barn and Belegiro (whatever) warehouse and you will pop up some stars if the Bunker Supply struck (military) bumps any vehicle. The soldiers may even get out and shoot you, you re-spawn and they are gone.
Now, lets say you have 1 star, you drive past the giant golden V on your map and you have 3 stars if the agents there saw you.
Now, maybe you did a Nightclub delivery 15 minutes ago, you dropped mines during the mission, this is 15 minutes later, that mission is gone and done, you get back from Sandy with 2 stars but within 400 meters of those mines, those mines are suddenly active again, boom, now you just killed cops that were spawned just to come see your 2 stars. Not enough time passed after your stars disappeared but wait, now it did, 2 stars.
So, did you lay mines anytime during that session? an hour earlier and had not been back in that area?
The star removal had not saved to R*, until it did that new reason for 2 stars looked like 4, but I was not there, I did not see it, but I have had the situation above happen before. I have even had stars appear while inside my apartment or whatever business it was because of the mines I had set before entering.
