** Even on Simulation Mode, you only lose Conduct Points for doing unjustified actions rather than inactivity. You can freely ignore law violations and criminal activity as much as you please, like letting a drunk driver drive off without so much as a ticket so you can respond to a major accident call-out. You can also outright stop doing a major accident with possibly injured citizens and leave just because you felt like it. Needless to say, that would never fly in real life and would result in the officer getting reprimanded or fired, especially if that drunk driver winds up causing an accident (or another one). This is likely done due to how chaotic the game can get at times, and to allow the player to shift their priorities.
