Walkthrough
The case begins with Phelps interviewing Elinor Hopkin about the act. She claims that a man took a private snapshot of her with his camera. When Phelps asks where he went, the woman sights the man harassing another woman across the street and points him out. Phelps and Earle rush toward him, but the suspect sees them, nonchalantly tosses the camera in his car, and starts driving away. Phelps and Roy get in their car and chase after him. The chase goes through many alley ways and lots before the suspect's vehicle is hit by a tram and he is arrested.
Note: Roy will not shoot the suspect's wheels, so there is a bit more difficulty to arrest him before he crashes his car. It's easier to just follow Hopgood till he crashes into the trolley, as he drives very fast and takes very sharp corners, and getting hung up on just one corner could mean having to restart the case.
