On May 6, Rockstar Games shocked the world when it released the highly anticipatedsecond trailer forGrand Theft Auto 6.

GTA 6 Fans Think Jason Is Working With the Cops
With two separate trailers forGrand Theft Auto 6now available, along with a plethora of screenshots, fans have been speculating on Jason Duval’s potential backstory. According to the Rockstar Games website, Jason grew up around grifters and crooks, has had a “stint” in the Army, and now resides in Leonida Keys working for local drug runners. His description also alludes to Jason wanting to “try something new,” and many players believe that could be a reference to the protagonist working withthe police inGrand Theft Auto 6.
While most fans are convinced that Jason is actually a cop, Reddit user Sidewinda98 has come up with an interesting theory that suggests Jason works with the police captain, but not in the traditional sense. “Maybe the cop sets up drug raids, gives the green light on robberies with Jason’s help off the books in exchange for a cut of the money,” the user speculated. They also note that there are numerous moments in the trailer alluding to this, such as the prison officer asking if he knows Jason, as well as a criminal questioning whether or not he is a “fed.” Jason can also be seen wearing the same gear in the second trailer as a police officer in the first trailer.
