Dude I know swears that "Cops" on Fox is all fake/staged/recreations.  I have tried to explain to him that running a rimless Grand Am through the streets of Tampa at High Speeds might present legal issues.  I plan on taking some of his money.  Can anyone give me a definitive link to Proof?  Thanks...

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

COPS is an American documentary television series that follows police officers, constables, and sheriff's deputies during patrols and other police activities. It is one of the longest-running television programs in the United States and the second longest-running show on Fox and, along with America's Most Wanted, the first half of the longest unchanged nightly schedule (Fox's Saturday night) currently on American broadcast television. Created by John Langley and Malcolm Barbour, it premiered on March 11, 1989, and has aired 851 episodes as of June 12, 2010. It won the American Television Award in 1993 and has earned four Emmy nominations. [1] COPS began its 22nd season on September 12, 2009[2]. The series is currently one of only three remaining first-run primetime programs airing on Saturday nights on the four major U.S. broadcast television networks, along with America's Most Wanted, and CBS' 48 Hours Mystery.

COPS is broadcast by Fox (with repeats from earlier seasons syndicated to local television stations and other cable networks, including truTV (formerly CourtTV) and G4), and follows the activities of police officers by embedding camera crews with police units. The show's formula follows the cinéma vérité convention, with no narration or scripted dialog, depending entirely on the commentary of the officers and on the actions of the people with whom they come into contact.

The show has followed officers in 140 different cities in the United States and in Hong Kong, London, and the former Soviet Union. Each episode is approximately 22 minutes in length and typically consists of three segments, with each segment being one or two self-contained police incidents.

One of the reasons that show has lasted so long is the people who produce the show are VERY Cop friendly in the editing room.

Your buddy is thinking of Reno 911.  How could anyone think COPS is fake?  Two best episodes ever:

A guy that looked like Lou Ferrigno got pulled over and bolted from the car.  They ended up in someone's backyard and he was fighting the three or four COPS for his dear life when they turned a German Shepherd loose on him.  He literally picked the dog up and threw it over the 6' cedar fence behind him and continued fighting the cops...priceless!

The big naked black guy they have trapped in a barber shop.  He is on a PCP fueled rampage and it takes literally 10 cops to bring him down - I think he even got shot at some point.  Unreal.  Looking for a link now...

The greatest episode I have ever seen was when they stopped a guy carrying a hot water heater down the street at 3am. They just followed the trail of water back to the house he stole if from. Who steals a hot water heater?!

In the early years they were filmed in Los Angeles using the Sherriff's Department and a friend was on 3-4 of the first 10 episodes. He had two memorable gaffes, one he could not break down a door to a hotel room and the other he tries to break a sliding glass door with his baton and it bounces off. The old lady in the house opens the door and tells him "You trying to give me a heart attack?", it was priceless as we used that on him for years.

It was real back in the day, I have not watched much in last 15 years so can not say anything on newer episodes.

Find them!!

They did a few episodes with the Passaic County Sheriffs department here in NJ. A few friends of mine work in the jailhouse and stated that they are indeed real.

I'm sad to say that I saw that episode. That was a sweet take down. The guy's about 270 and it takes the entire Oakland county football squad to pull him down. Pepper spray? He eats that for breakfast. Tazers? C'mon boys. Use your guns.

I like how the chick cop is the one who makes the first move and tries a solo take down while a bunch of fat ass man cops stand by wondering what to do next.
