To me, this movie is perfection.
Am I Missing Something?
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
View MoreStory: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
This is the one and ONLY best police action programs EVER aired! The situations and varied encounters that law enforcement face are portrayed realistically and honestly. NO narration to sway your impression of the participants. Truly a treasure for years to come. Unfortunately A&E has tried to copy-cat this series with its all new "PD-Live. It's a far cry from C.O.P.S. and in many ways owes its intimate camera shots to the original show. You see, I don't think any police force would allow major camera "ride-along" crews if it hadn't been for the GREAT experience they've had with the C.O.P.S production teams. Even the public now expects an honest forthright portrayal of these 911 calls because of the decent representations that have materialized from an experienced team of cinematic pros. I sure hope people DON'T get sucked into the newer programs and remain loyal to the show that "started it all".... C.O.P.S.!
View MoreThis is a reality TV series featuring true stories of law enforcement officers from various regions and departments of the United States. The television camera captures real footage of the officers in action as they serve and protect.Like cop show Real Stories of the Highway Patrol, this show covers a variety of cases from chasing down drug dealers to high-speed car chases. It is interesting seeing officers on duty in action, with a camera following their moves. At times, it can me more intense than watching a movie because the action here is real.Overall, this show has more adrenaline, action and intrigue than Real Stories of the Highway Patrol.Grade B
View MoreThere's no doubt that COPS is the best (ever!) TV reality program.It's been around for years, and will be around for many more years to come.Forget the hype. Forget the staged drama and props- this is the real thing.If you've been hiding under a rock and have no clue what this program is about- a TV crew does "ride-alongs" with the Police from all around the USA. It give us a first person view of a day (or night!) in the life a cop.It has been interesting to see the changes in the type of events they're being called to- I'd guess that almost 99% are in some way, shape or form are related to drugs. The offenders have either just used, just purchased, just sold or have in their possession or in their car, something to do with drugs! Amazing to see how common their use is....Great program and hope to see it for years to come. :)
View MoreI used to be able to watch this show for entertainment value. Not any more. As I grow older I get wiser. I learned too much about life. Now this show just disgusts me.Most of what I see on this show is just the cops picking on people who are not hurting anyone. People who are for the most part just dysfunctional biological machines.This episode I am watching right now, they just arrested some guy for sleeping in the cab of his truck for a couple of hours while his kids were playing in the park nearby. Apparently he had a couple of drinks and dozed off. Oh, the horror! And they bust some poor guy who was soliciting a prostitute who was actually a cop. Haven't they got anything better to do? Here in Houston, they won't do a %$#& thing about the thieves who break into our cars for years. But they devote teams of people to bust some poor guy napping in his car or trying to have sex with someone else for money. Why can't the cops and the puritans and baptists just leave people the &%$#@ alone? I am in law school right now, and ya know what? I am going into criminal defense when I graduate. And it is not just this episode. Most of the episodes I see of this show &^%$# me off. Freaking puritans are in charge of this nation because of our low rate of voting. And why do our poor people not vote? BEcause this nation was set up from the start to discourage voting among the poor. THat is how the constitution was designed by James Madison.
