I tried to pull over a car with two people inside. They took off and I initiated a pursuit. I called in local and state to help. The car crashed and the two occupants fled. I was able to catch the driver and arrest him, but the passenger fled into the hills. After a long search I could not find him and gave up, and sent my backup home. I took the driver to jail. After that I tried to pull over another car. The game would not let me "blip" this other car. After checking, I noticed the game still showed me in pursuit, so I figured this is why I could not "blip" the second vehicle. How to I end a pursuit once started if I cannot catch the perp?

This is what I use:

Stop the ped

Ultimate backup

Traffic policer

police smart radio

LSPDFR+

Interaction+

Arrest manager

Computer plus

LSPDFR 4.7

Hi,

 

To terminate a pursuit, press "N" on your keyboard, and select "Terminate Pursuit" then hold it until the progress bar ends. 

Pressing N for me doesn't bring up the menu, even though it is set in keys.ini in the lspdfr folder. Could one of my mods be blocking the N key function?

This happens to me as well. I find that it tends to result (from my experience) from AI vehicles randomly running whenever I turn on my lights. I'll try to pull someone over, but then across the street some random car or ped takes off. If I don't notice it, then they get away and I'm stuck in pursuit mode, same as you. We really need a "Terminate All Pursuits" key or something, because pressing "N" only works when you've actually "accepted" a pursuit by holding down the "report crime" key. Even though you haven't accepted the pursuit, you're still technically in it, as far as the game is concerned. It's forced me to "reloadallplugins" several times, each playthrough since the update. As a temporary fix, pay close attention to the radar when you turn on your lights. If any NPC becomes blipped red, just shoot them lol. Then proceed with your initial traffic stop.

It only works if you are actively in a pursuit. 

 

Comes with an "end pursuit" button, could prove useful.
