Map, Focus and police info

Reported Focus is “very similar to ‘Eagle Eye’ in Red Dead Redemption 2. You can use it to help you locate things that you want to find on the map – and certainly cops” (IGN).
Reported Icons under the wanted level show what police know about you, such as your appearance and what you’re wearing, per IGN, 69 details.
Reported Hollow stars can mean police are alerted but lack full information.
Reported “No witnesses can mean no wanted level”; store alarms, cameras and vehicle trackers can still alert police.
