I hate COPS
An hour of prostitution stings

What a complete waste of money and resources

Can't these guys find any REAL crimes to solve?

4. CEO stings
Why don't they have COPS do an episode where rich, white, business people get arrested for their crimes?

5. Take it up with their bosses. The real cops, the ones on the beat,
do what they are ordered to do.

6. I've got total respect to the Hampton, VA PD
When COPS wanted to shoot here, they told them HELL NO.

A HPD cop told me that the police chief thought the the show was wack and the cops that they show are always fucking up. Besides, why would he want them to broadcast their possible fuck ups on national television?

I figured out that the whole premise of the series is just to show cops fucking with people.

That HPD cop agreed.

8. Only a hooker would say that.
:evilgrin:

It's a perfectly legitimate crime to bust. These women are criminals as well as the guys picking them up. I also agree with the philosophy that you have to go after all the little crimes to make a difference.

9. Spend a few years in Europe and you might see it differently
It's the prohibition that is the crux of the problem.

If it was regulated, taxed, zoned and health screened those petty crime issues would not be an issue.

But that would make sense. Instead, these jurisdictions are high on their own puritanism.

Personally, I think that prostitutes should organize as a workforce.

CPD had it right; the cops are busting hookers for Jesus
(Which is weird, because Jesus never called the cops on any hookers that he hung out with)

16. pretty much proved that true when

12. No not alot of noteworthy busts
When you see a single episode of cops they show about 3 busts. That one episode was created after months of filming, they take the most interesting clips and put them in an episode. It's kind of like Jerry Springer in a way, in most cases they are showing one of the worst times in a person's life just for entertainment purposes.

14. They never show to better communities whenever they shoot this show.
It's always about street people.

13. Not more than I do...
Everyone in involved in the production of that unconscionable program, including the people who like watching the program, are the bane of society and humanity.
