Live PD

Anyone watches this stuff on AE?  Some of this stuff is intense.  They just did a big drug cartel bust in Columbia SC.  They stopped few muchachos and their car was full of cash and coke.

Watch it at my in-laws. My brother in law is a Sheriff and I guess that's what his parents do to cope? I don't know. Still can be pretty entertaining. I don't know if my bro watches very often at all cause he kind of lives it but if he's there and it's on we get to hear some pretty good stories.

I haven’t watched much TV lately but that’s one of my favorite shows.

Yep I watch it just about every weekend. They did a pretty good job with it...also being that I live in Columbia it adds to the appeal for me.

Some of those guys from Richland county are somewhat local celebs now.

So, why does every fugging car they search have weed in it?

And, only on TV do people actually get pulled for a license plate light out, or one of your brake lights is out. If there wasn't a camera crew around, cops would be doing anything but pulling someone for some BS like that.

I don't think it is all show for the cameras.  I think a lot of it is the fact they film it on Fri and Sat night......and when cops are traveling in areas where they know lots of poo goes down they are simply more likely to pull folks for minor things in the scenarios (party nights and in heavier crime areas).

That's some of their go-to reasons for stopping people that they want to fug with actually. It's pretty common, not just on TV.
