10 Reasons Why Cops is the Best Reality Show of All Time

Cops has been on for 20 years now and it never ceases to amaze me how awesome this show is. Where else do you get transvestites, midgets and every other weirdo that you really never want to meet in real life. Here are some reasons why I think Cops is the best reality show ever.

1. These people sign waivers to show their faces
I really do not get it. Most people do not look forward to being exposed as criminals, but so many of these people allow themselves to be shown on tape. Most are caught with crack, cheating on their wives with hookers, or doing some other dumb action. Do they think they are famous now that they are on Cops? Is it a jump start to their acting careers? Do they think their wives, or wives friends, are not going to watch this episode? What ever the reason, I love that they allow their faces to show.

2. Its always fun when someone gets tased
That is, of course, unless its you. Episode after episode, I see these guys resist and the cops have to pull out the taser. Not seconds after the the hits them, they are out like babies. Its always a bit humorous to watch when 300 pound bad guy drops to his knees like a little girl.

3. When they give the cops permission to search their property
C’mon! You do not need to let them search if they do not have probable cause. If you have guns, weed, crack, speed, booze or any other illegal items… SAY NO! These people always give permission and then the cops find something. How idiotic do you have to be to let them search your property when you have illegal stuff? If you give them permission, you deserve to go to jail and I like watching it.

4. The Mardis Gras Episodes
Nudity is common place at Mardis Gras, but please do not show off your tits or pecker if a cop is standing right next to you. Most of us have seen one or two of these episodes over the year and there is always some dumb ass that ends up spending his vacation in the clink because he needs to show his shit. How crappy would that be? Pretty crappy for you, but also fun for me to watch.

5. “I don’t know who’s that is”
According to Cops, there are many people who lose drugs. These people get arrested and the cops find drugs right next to them, but they say it isn’t theirs. What the hell is up with that? I am sure that most drug addicts have a tough time losing their baggies and they always happen to lose the drugs in the middle of a field where this person is getting arrested. yeah, right. It’s almost as fun to watch these as it is to watch politicians deny affairs.

7. Watching people turn on each other

Nothing says “I love you” more than blaming your crime on your best friend or significant other. Watching one friend bury another is slightly disturbing, but reinforces the reasons why not to be a criminal.

8. The Theme Song

“Bad Boys” by Inner Circle has become an icon of Cops. Every time I hear this song I want to watch people get busted for doing stupid things.

9. Gotta love the good guys

On a serious note, it shows how tough of a job that our law enforcement has. Sure, there is a percentage of bad cops, but these guys sacrifice oodles to make sure that our streets are as safe as possible. I certainly respect what they do and hope they continue to get all the bad guys out there.
