Huh, that's weird. I decided to finish off the street crimes in free roam and did Traffic, Homicide and Ad Vice and ended up missing eight. I go on to Arson and there's only one street crime on the entire map.
Even driving around didn't seem to get me any new ones. Do they have to drop during a case? I thought they all just showed up in free roam.
Are you sure you did all the previous ones? Just because a repeat street crime comes up doesn't mean there's others on that desk that haven't been completed.

I kinda assumed that the red crimes without a name are the ones you haven't done and the gray ones that are named are the ones you've already done. I finished all the red ones, at least.
Ah crap, don't tell me I have to go back and go through every single one of them just to make sure?

I just got the "Complete all street crimes" achievement an hour ago, and I had the exact same problem.
I'm not sure what causes it, but you can figure out which desks street crimes you are missing by trial and error, start each one up, if you got all it will say "You've completed all street crimes on this desk" when you start it, some street crimes might be dependable on a day or a night cycle? I'm not sure, I just know I checked them all several times, and suddenly a red street crime pops up out of nowhere (And I did check even with the buttons that should show all street crimes on the map.)
So in short, see if you get the "No street crimes on this desk", if it doesnt then just drive around for a bit and see if it pops up on the map after some time.
EDIT:
It's divided like this, spoiler for street crime names just in case.
Traffic: 12
Boxing Clever, Cosmic Rays, Masked Gunman, Shoo-Shoo bandits, Gangfight, Amateur Hour, Death from Above, Theater Robbery, Pawnshop Holdup, Hotel Bandits, Hung out to Dry, Army Surplus.
Homicide: 13
Vengeful Ex, Death Plunge, Canned Fish, Would Be Robber, Running Battle, Bank Job, Unsuccessful Holdup, Cop Killer Shot, Honey Boy, Misunderstanding, Thicker than Water, Killer Bandits, Bowling Lane Robbery.
Vice: 10
Commies, Fatal Plunge, Against the Odds, Daylight Robbery, The Blue Line, Zoot Suit Riot, The Badger Game, Camera Obscura, Secret Keepers, Bad Date.
Arson: 5
Accident Prone, Paper Sack Holdup, Cafe Holdup, Bus Stop Shooting, Hot Property.
All the red icons in free mode are street crimes you haven't completed yet.
You'll also get a message when you load up free mode if you completed all the street crimes for that desk.
Oh, and make sure you're looking over the entire map. Despite Vice taking place mainly in Hollywood, there were a few crimes in the south east side of the city.

I normally hate being the guy who makes the list of wants for a sequel immediately after finishing the first game in a new IP ... but here's my two major wants:
- Option to disable visible signs of correct/incorrect answers: I think this was the real sticking point for a lot of people's problems with the interrogations. When you hear that bad chime or see all of those X's in Cole's notebook, it sets off a lot of that video game OCD in people.
- Better description of Truth/Doubt/Lie options: I don't know that everyone wants full-blown multi-branch dialogue trees (though I think I do), but I really liked how Mass Effect 2 handled things.
Those two improvements (and fixing the crash bugs!) would be sublime.
I just finished the game. I liked the ending quite a bit. It left me feeling better about the game than I expected after I was starting to get frustrated in the middle.
I'm torn about letting my partner drive because I've heard that letting him drive is slower than you driving yourself (in the game clock. You'll miss some plot events if you don't drive.)
Those last 3 cases really had a "We better think of a big plot to end the game with" type of feel. It was a nice plot, don't get me wrong, and it did have some seeds planted here and there throughout the game. But it was really Arson 3 where the realized they better do something with it.
The ending... eh. Not bad I guess. Can't say I was applauding at the end or anything though.
Looking back, yeah you can really see how they must have did one hell of a hack job to get it out the door and fit on 3 DVD's. It suffers in places, but to their credit they did a hell of a job regardless.
The Wolfman on
"The sausage of Green Earth explodes with flavor like the cannon of culinary delight."
You can use a flamethrower in this game. Holy shit.
Which ends up being more trouble than it's worth. I died like 10 times trying to use that thing. I only stuck with it because I wanted the trophy for killing a bad guy with every weapon.

"The sausage of Green Earth explodes with flavor like the cannon of culinary delight."
So, I just cleared the lipstick case and I have to say, I'm really not all that impressed with the game so far.
Maybe it's because I just cleared Gyakuten Kenji 2 a couple of days ago, but I don't find the investigation and interrogation bits very interesting. The facial expressions thing is a cool gimmick, but in the end it's just that, a gimmick, plus maybe I just suck at reading expressions but all the faces the people make after ending their statements look really unnatural to me.
The open world is horribly redundant, and the action parts just feel clumsy to me. All this game has really done for me so far is give me a craving for Red Faction: Guerilla (result of a combination of me being an awesome driver and the people being immortal and also way too good at dodging my car).
Eh.
Without spoiling anything too dire, pray tell me, do the story and/or the cases get better later?
Since you're used to playing Japanese detective games, LA Noire simply can't match up.
I personally recommened:
Kamaitachi No Yoru
Cross Tantei Monogatari
428: Fuusa Sareta Shibuya De
Missing Parts 1 & 2
Houchou san no uwasa (free)
Hayarigami
Nishimura Kyotaro DS series
Kamaitachi is easily the most famous game of this genre in Japan. It's one of a handful of titles I'd say is actually a perfect game, and you can get it for pretty cheap for Super Fami, PS and GBA. Cross is a bit harder to find, but it's correctly regarded as being at the top of its genre.
And of course, you should play Machi: Unmei no Kousaten.
You can use a flamethrower in this game. Holy shit.
Which ends up being more trouble than it's worth. I died like 10 times trying to use that thing. I only stuck with it because I wanted the trophy for killing a bad guy with every weapon.
Dangit.... the game, for some reason, wouldn't let me charge the person I wanted to charge. No prompt came up for them. So I got two stars despite a high clue/question % and low damage. Being told my case was thin while not allowing me to actually charge the guy I wanted to seems a bit crappy.

I still don't understand why I two starred it. I mean... its pretty obvious that the husband did it. Wet clothes, muddy bloody shoes, He burns his shoes and runs from me. History of violence... but I guess the captain didn't care, he wanted me to nab the pederass? But then neither of them really did it, so why did the husband have bloody shoes, and why was he burning them?

If you get one of his late questions correct, he explains:
The shoes were covered in rabbit blood, and he was burning them out of fear that you'd use them to wrongfully convict him.

Man what weapons are they looking for with that achievement? I've used the pistol, the Thompson, the BAR, the shotgun, the M1 and the flamethrower and still haven't gotten it.

In the (I think) second beat cop case where you use the shotgun against the bank robbers you need to drop it and use Cole's revolver.
I always go back to the car your partner drives (it's different at each desk), it's marked on the map.
One time I wasn't paying attention and made my partner drive around in the morgue's hearse for the whole case. Every time we got in he said "Are you serious? We're driving around in this!?"

When does the DLC Slip of the Tongue come into play? I downloaded it during the last Traffic case and then went onto Homocide and now when I look at the traffic cases to replay it isn't there. Should I delete it and redownload it or do I need to play through Traffic again?

But then the entire open world part of the game was ... well it was really kind of terrible wasn't it.
Yeah the street crimes didn't really add very much and not having a simple line drawn for a route like every other game this generation was kind of a dumb move.
Also it was kind of dumb that each desk tended to move you to different parts of the city, and those desks had their own street crimes, but sometimes those crimes would be on the complete opposite side of the city themselves.

Actually, I quite liked there not being a line drawn to your destination.
For starters, they didn't have GPS devices in the 40s. Second, I found in GTA and similar games that I would just follow the line to each destination, pretty much missing out on the entire point of "open city" in these games. In fact, I think I turned off the GPS in GTA IV, but I could be misremembering. I like to find my own route to a destination, be it calmly down city streets or dangerously careening down back alleys, side mirrors flying off in the process.
Of course, the ability to accomplish that feeling is hampered when a map is poorly designed. I haven't come across any issues in LA Noire, but there were plenty of points in GTA IV where you'd want to get across a bridge but would have to back track to find some awfully designed and awkwardly placed on-ramp a few miles in the opposite direction.

I've had that problem with bridges a few times in LA Noire. It was bloody nightmare trying to find the way into the train yard.
Didn't have a gps in the old west but you could still draw a line to your destination in RDR. Its a convenience thing they do for the player so you can navigate the city easier. Hell the game even includes one on a specific mission which makes missing one for the rest of the game a backwards design decision.
If its a realism thing then you as the player shouldn't be able to keep pulling up the map to look at it either.

The horses in Read Dead Redemption were born with internal GPS. It didn't really kill my immersion into that game.
I do love that you can press square (PS3) and your partner will give you directions if you are driving. "Take a left at the next intersection." Driving around was a lot easier when I started using this. I still wont dare drive during cases because I am horrible at turning 1940 era cars, I guess.
Nothing will ever satisfy more than when I parked a car on top of that jerkface from vice. Shows you right for never getting in the car fast enough, being a total jerk, and that other thing I won't mention.
Incidentally, they don't continue to take damage if the car is stationary, so you can actually pile several vehicles on top of a person.
