(9:15 PM 911 Call Heart Attack) South East County Sheriff's Station - Deputy David Halm says a woman isn't breathing on Compton Blvd. It's trailer #2. EMS arrives, but they can't get in the door. They hear someone screaming inside. David slams the sliding glass door with his Billy club and a woman screams. He tells her to open the door, it's the police and is someone is having a heart attack. She says she is now. He's glad the glass didn't break. The old white woman says she didn't call. She was watching TV until 9pm and went to bed. EMS checks her out, 140/100 blood pressure. She asks if that's high. They say considering, it's pretty good. It seems a kid called it in, so it was a just cruel joke. She thanks them. (911 Call Drunk and Disorderly) They stop a white guy in a cowboy hat next to a white car. He says he has a license and shows it to David's partner. The guy says he has had something to drink and thinks about it - a bottle of beer and 3 mixed drinks. He has a Budweiser shirt and sounds totally drunk. Where is he headed? He's not sure, he's going to his basement apartment around the corner. He says he wasn't going to drive. They tell him he better not. He says it won't happen. He was inside a fast food place and was drunk. No one saw him drive, he says he wasn't driving, so there is nothing they can do. Minutes later they swing around after getting a call that he drove away. If they find him they'll arrest him. They spot his car around the corner swerving down the road. He hits a curb and stops. Dan told him not to drive. He pulls him out, says he has no weapons and gives him a field sobriety test. The guy says he doesn't know if he can, the ground isn't level. They take him to a paved lot and have him walk a straight line, which he can't do. They arrest him, take him to the station and give him a breath test. It comes out .202 - double the legal limit. They put him in a cell. The breath is always lower than the blood would be so he probably has a .22 or .23. (7:20 AM Warrant Briefing) Antelope Valley Narcotic Bureau - Deputy Dennis Ingersoll says they want a lightweight meth dealer, male white, 30 years old and the informant says he carries 9mm. Tony takes the back, Carl takes the bolt cutters incase the gate is locked. (7:37 AM Warrant Served) They knock and announce, then bash the door in. There are four people sleeping on the floor of the living room. Carol says she is going to faint, starts to shake and doesn't live there. The guy with her behind the couch gets up and puts his pants on. Wayne, the owner of the house is cuffed. They have a search warrant. They cuff the other guy too. One cop finds a bunch of ¼ grams of meth wrapped in papers. They bring the guy with no shirt into the kitchen. They hear he's dealing and he was found sleeping next to it. He says it's not his. They bring Wayne in the kitchen and ask where the stash is so they don't have to tear the house apart. He says he doesn't have a stash and doesn't deal. He's told an undercover bought from him personally two days ago. Now he wants to lie to him, he didn't just fall of the turnip truck. Wayne says he doesn't want his house torn up, but he has no stash. They'll tear up every inch of the place until they find it, how are they supposed to trust him? In a woman's purse they find an 8 ball, crank and a syringe. The phone rings and Dennis answers it. He says Wayne is tied up right now. It's his boss, he's late for work. He tells him it's the sheriff's department, he's under arrest. He can come over and secure the house for him if he wants. He doesn't. Wayne isn't coming into work today. Lennox Sheriff's Station - Sgt. Robin Sawyer says Detective Holbrook has info that the Buchannon family ripped off some Columbians on a dope deal and they are going to even the score. The Buchannon's are arming themselves with automatic weapons and will be carrying them when they go out. If they aren't familiar with the family talk to Holbrook. (3:29 PM Drive-by Shooting) They leave and head to a street under construction where a black man in a blue shirt is down and a crowd is around. The fire department arrives and a woman says he's her brother, doesn't know who shot him or why, he just got home from work. EMS works on him, gives him oxygen and he's not happy about getting a needle. They say he was just shot, a needle is the least of his worries. Deputy Bruce Vallerand talks to a witness. The guy says it looked like .32s. One was a .38 and the passenger shot him. They are a couple of drug dealers. The big guy got shot twice, the skinny guy shot once, neither are going to die, but it's definitely gang related. (4:37 PM Disturbance Call) They go to a Korean grocer and the woman says you'll shoot me. The guy says he wanted to buy a hat, he told her it was $10 and got mad. They talk to the black guy. He says he didn't want any trouble, he just wanted to change the hat. He goes to Cal State, bought a bunch of stuff, went to wear the hat to the basketball game, took it out and saw it was all worn. He came to get his money back and she said no, it's been worn. The cop says to give him another hat and they can all leave. They want to give him the money back, but he doesn't want it, he wants the Chicago Bulls hat. They pull it down from a display and he says it's fine. Robin says they come over to this country and try to make a living. The only way they can survive it to keep it open 20 hours a day from 6am to 2am. There was a communication breakdown and they think they are getting ripped off, it's a couple hours pay to them. To us it's not big deal.

Cops Show Summary

Called the original reality show, Cops is a gritty and unfiltered look at the seamier parts of our society as seen through the eyes of the men and women who struggle to keep the peace.

Since 1989, camera crews have traveled across the nation and into other countries providing an intimate look at police officers and the nuts and bolts of their day-to-day work.

Cops uses a modern adaptation of cin... ma v... rit?, a French documentary style of film making from the early 1920s, where life is shot as it happens, without script, narration or interference. Here, the police officer is narrator, guiding you through the shift and what happens within it, using his or her own words.
