"Cops," which is a Saturday Night staple on FOX (Along with "America's Most Wanted"),is like driving by a REALLY BAD car accident: you just can't help but look to see what's up.
"Cops" follows police officers in various cities and countries. The viewer can see that a officer's job is not an easy one. They have to deal with situations that range from the ordinary, the outrageous, the dumb (A woman flagged down a police officer to complain that she was ripped off while trying to buy crack cocaine!), to the tragic (Officers finding a suicide in a park). By the end of the episode, you gain a little more respect for the men in blue.
As for the narrator's comments, "All suspects are considered innocent until proved guilty in a court of law," you begin to doubt if this is really true. The camera actually catches people in the act (A man arrested for DWI has the evidence on him. In this case, a joint behind his ear!). If you watched the show long enough, you can pretty much get the feeling who is about to take off running from a cop, whether by foot or by wheels. Finally, the excuses that some of the bad guys come up with are incredibly hard to believe (How could someone slip heroin and cocaine down your pants without you knowing it?).
One of the best reality shows around.
