* GoodCopBadCop: He plays both sides simultaneously, representing a trustworthy figurehead to the public, while at night he takes advantage of his ReasonableAuthorityFigure to aggressively break laws and turn Palm City into a living hell for many of the racers.

* NeverMyFault: In his perspective, he believes he is doing it right to protect Palm City, if it means that he orders his task force and Shaw to cross lines like impounding cars from the showdown with no criminal record for no reason, or even illegally ship them just to get ill-gotten profits just for his cause. Though JerkassHasAPoint when he was noticed about Ana and the player infiltrating his chop shop about the illegal stripping of the cars, thanks to the surveillance from his laptop. And all these wrongdoings, he has no regrets to be blamed for.

[[spoiler: It was later seized by Mercer, forcing Ana, Lucas and the player to move in a hideout in North Cloudbank, acting as a temporary garage.

It's even implied that Mercer intended to do something ''worse'' to Joe, given to he gestures to his gun before being stopped by Torres, who's the one to actually suggest making Joe leave town, and it's also implied that she did so because she knows that something happening to Joe would attract too much attention on the PCPD.
