Carl, I was watching "Naked Cops"

[Kane]

What is the name of your state?on Court TV the other day, and I was wondering.

Does "Cops" reflect real-life police work?

Also, I have a question about narcotics officers. The uniformed officers on that show are generally patient and hard-working, and put up with a lot of crap.

But the narcs, on the other hand... well, they tend to come off like arrogant thugs... a lot like the people they're arresting. Do narcs have an "image" in law enforcement?

Thanks.

Ps - it turns out it was the suspects who're getting naked on "Naked Cops," not the cops.

Kane, Carl was on "Cops" but he has his uniform on without a doubt.

Kane, Carl was on "Cope" but he has his uniform on without a doubt.

Yeah? Is there a re-run on the net?

Are you sure it wasn't "Reno 911 "?

Kinda sorta. Though we out here tend to look at the show in wonder ... since the agencies approve what goes out, it's amazing what they agree to!

One of the agencies I used to work with was on Cops when I was in the field. They were good guys and easy to work with ... and some were former cops, too. But what I see on TV is sometimes silly, sometimes dangerous, and always seriously edited (so you can't trust it to show you all the factors in the PC for a bust or a search).

But the narcs, on the other hand... well, they tend to come off like arrogant thugs... a lot like the people they're arresting. Do narcs have an "image" in law enforcement?

Yes, they do. Unfortunately narcs tend to develop some sloppy habits and poor attitudes. Not all, mind you, but many. But, they have to be hard. They don't deal with John Q. Victim all that often, they deal with flotsam and jetsom, and hardcore suspects that might just want to kill them. So the very job lends itself to a hardened individual.

Ps - it turns out it was the suspects who're getting naked on "Naked Cops," not the cops.

Yeah. I don't think they make Cops any more ever since the USSC sort of put a crimp into media ridealong entering residences. I don't think a new episode has been filmed in about 6 or 7 years, but I could be wrong. (Shows you how often I watch the show ... but my kids do!)

And, yes, I was ... I was helping herd horses off of a road. Such excitement.

man- don;t get my hopes up! I read the title of your post and thought mmmm a man in uniform (niiiice) getting out of uniform (even better)....

oooh what a let down

 

[Kane]

Carl, I didn't know you were on Cops. I'll have to keep my eyes open.

Thanks for answering.


Zephyr - I doubt it's *that* hard to get a cop out of uniform.

It was one episode and I was in the background. They rode with officers from a shift that overlapped mine for 6 weeks, as I recall. There were several incidents they filmed, but I can't recall any more than the one with the horses that I was in. There may have been more, but I didn't see all of the Sacramento episodes ... and they never asked for my name, so I doubt it was mentioned anywhere.

But, if it was Sacramento County during 1993, then I was there ... well, somewhere.

Not if you're married to him/her. Just ask my wife.

I'll bet we have some posters who have been on COPS also.

It always amazes me that the perps in those episodes are just tickled pink to get to be on television!

Last Saturday had a new episode so unless they are 6-7 years behind on producing...

Okay. I hadn't seen a recent episode in many years.

BUT! A "new" episode may be one cobbled from prior footage that was not aired. The COPS crew told us that it took two camera crews a week of rides to get a half hour's footage ... this varied, but it did leave them a LOT of material to be cobbled together later on.

And according to their website they ARE still in production. So, I guess I just haven't caught a new show recently.

The new episodes come on Saturday night. But why would you watch it? You live it every day.

You can tell the new episodes from the old ones by what they look like. Some of those 80' and 90's episodes hair styles are pretty scary.

Now they wear baseball caps and some wear tee shirts. I have seen some who turn up their sleeves to show off their muscles, The bicycle cops wear shorts
