The funny thing about COPS is EVERY search they show turns up something, they never show the searches that turn up nothing when the truth is only 20% of vehicle searches something is found. COPS is nothing more than law enforcement propaganda.

I saw a classic one awhile ago. They were serving old arrest warrants , and went looking for this guy at his ex-girlfriends house. So they knock at the door and ask if he is there , and she says she hasnt seen him in months. So they ask if they can come in and look to make sure, and she is kind of upset and says no , but eventually she agrees to let them in and "just look for him and leave " , so they have like 6 cops barge in and they go thru the house , and i notice one cop looking through drawers and such , and im thinking hmm, then he lifts up her mattress and find a grand or so in $1 and $5 bills under her mattress.
So these cops say its "drug money" and took it. No warrant no nothing , they didnt even find paraphanelia in the house or anything to suggest it came from drugs. It was nuts i was shocked. And she even allowed them to search.
