Here’s what I’d do: You apply to become cops, and try to smuggle in drugs through the cops.

Eventually the game offers you a story branch in which you can become good - and actually be a good cop, or join the other bad cops.

If you’re good enough you lose the ability to attack random strangers, but gain a host of others - such as attending city council meetings, cleaning up rubbish, and eventually busting a Trump like figure.

This follows in GTA5’s online “GTA5 RP” (role play) tradition, which produced a myriad of story lines the devs could have borrowed from.

EDIT: The tradition of RP is still going on in GTA5.
