How is the 'disguise' supposed to work, exactly?

[Kaldrak]

Police were called, I run outside of the property, put on the disguise and start walking away. Cops ran right to me and took me down even though the words 'disguise is in effect' were on the screen.

This must be a bad joke from the sellers on Tools4Thieves, to get 1000 bucks for clothes that you get in the clothing store for maybe 100 and then still get caught.
Then there seems to be "Hey, cops, I'm the thief you're looking for" printed on the back (would be interested to see what happens in RL when you walk the streets of New York with it).
Anyway, the same thing happened to me several times. I even sat down (disguised) on a bench in a park a few hundred yards from the house, and still got picked up.

well, as far as i know. in this game, the disguise only works with cops, if you're seen by pedestrian or people who walks by you, you still get detected

Well it was a cop that tased me, despite the disguise...

i don't really know how it works since i always just use load checkpoint if i get detected and i only use it once. but from what i saw from that one use, if you got detected (there will be an alert if you got noticed) by pedestrian, the police will come towards your location and you will get tased. either that or it's another bug. despite how good the game is, i'm beginning to hate this game as it has so many bugs. like security guard able to see through wall, able to notice us while sleeping eventhough we're crouching and many more. i don't know if they're feature or bugs but i hate them.

From what I got it makes you immune to the police car detection radius, I was able to walk by a police car very closely without the cops coming out, so if you can avoid pedestrians and walking cops you can wonder around to escape the car patrols
