"Fugitive ___ has been spotted sdfkjbdsnjkfsd" also overrides the window when you search someone on cop. Would be a nice QoL change if that didn't happen. (this was an issue 3 months ago when I was a cop, don't know if this has been fixed since then).
Not everyone has a large chat box (if they haven't modified it themselves) and we all know how sidechat can be spammy at times. Sure, there's a way to read the text, but it isn't exactly optimal. By the time you see the notification, it gets overtaken, then you try and read it in sidechat, welp, there goes your 5 seconds.
