AT 13:43 DAD WHY DID YOU DO THAT TO MY CHILD
I DON'T KNOW DEAR I'M SORRY
WELL I KNOW ONE THING DAD YOUR ASS CAN SIT IN JAIL FOR A LONG TIME CAUSE I AIN'T BONDING YOU OUT
I'm looking for the cops episode in new orleans where they go to a street fight and the male suspect pulls on officer cathy's back to get her off his girlfriend and she tases him and says you don't ever put your hands on my back
That cop just taught that little three-year-old to do exactly what she’s not supposed to do. Get in the car with a Stranger for candy.
Lmaooo she really just slapped the officers arm like it was nothin 😂🤣
I was in total shock when the man with his pants down shocked Officer Travis.
The last cop was just a douche and playing it up for the cameras. "You hardly "slapped" my arm to get my attention? Oh, you definitely getting arrested for assault on a law enforcement officer because I'm not going to be embarrassed when my buddies see the video…" That dude knows what the end result will be which is nothing more than some wasted paperwork and effort for the jail/court and ultimately a huge waste of taxpayer money that won't be recouped with the $200 fine that she's given…that ends up in collections…that's written off after she dies (which likely isn't long after filming) or bankruptcy, or that she simply never pays. That type of incident happens thousands of times every day, and doesn't lead to anybody being safer. It does keep a lot of people employed, ultimately with money from taxpayers and very rarely from the person wearing steel cuffs. What a waste all around.
Guy ran after crashing his motorcycle. Most of us would assume he had a reason for running (criminal of some kind) if we witnessed that happen. But what level of crime is it to run from a single car incident that doesn't involve other people or property? Must be a pretty serious crime if a cop follows and immediately draws his firearm on the person involved.
11:15 That cop unknowingly gave an excellent lesson regarding kids and strangers. We teach kids about "stranger danger" but to trust uniformed people such as the police. He just proved that anybody can get a uniform at a costume shop, or anywhere online these days, and then all you need to do is speak in a friendly tone while promising the child a surprise gift or whatever, and the kids will just hop right into the car. Even the vast majority of onlookers wouldn't give a second thought to such an event even if they were really witnessing the kidnapping of a child and God only knows what would happen in the end. Thanks for the public service announcement, officer, and for helping to keep the little ones safe.👍
"The easiest lesson you could learn is for your grandkids to be taken by the state." What an ignorant comment for the cop to make. He hadn't even established anything regarding the parents of the kids. The state doesn't just get to step in and take children in a situation like that. Grandpa definitely screwed up big time and if he were my old man we'd definitely have a serious physical altercation in the backyard, but the state doesn't just swoop in and take the kids, regardless of the cops scare tactics and poor attempt at giving a lecture about righteousness.
Kimberlee Travis 😂
Why does anyone care about prostitution as long as their both consenting adults. No different than paying a dentist to pull a tooth or paying a stripper for a lap dance
$10!!! That guy deserves to go to jail.
$10 bucks? Are you that stupid or that horny?
Grandpa needs his rights taken away, never to be allowed to his granddaughter again. What a POS!! So many children go missing each day /cry.
You don't hit an officer and not expected to go jail
He looks extremely out of it
The kids could have been kidnapped you don't leave your kids unattended in a public park. The kids are probably like what's going on
That undercover cop is one ugly ass chick. Ten dollars is too much for that sea hag.
Why would you let a three and four run around the park by themselves anybody could have picked them up
Gotta love the hood where it's so bad that a stolen vehicle will get stolen again inside 60 seconds right in front of the cops.
I feel bad for that grandpa alcoholism is tough if he could only get help he wouldn't get into trouble and lose time with his grandbabies.😐
So was the father in law able to get his vehicle back?
Wtf!!! 3 yr old! Ahole!
How do men have intercourse with strange women on the streets 🤣I can vomit thinking about it.
So disgusting.
10 dollars lmao
Um, I'm sorry but child neglect is WORSE than public intoxication!
That guy should 100% get charged for child neglect due to intoxication!
If that was my little girl, ole papa wouldnt be allowed to take her anywhere by himself ever again. Total supervised visits!
Jesus, any one could have walked off with her, just the way that older cop enticed her to his cruiser for a lollipop and questions. That's all it would take for that child to disappear forever. So yes, child endangerment should be his charge!
I'm really pissed off now! He put that little girl at risk for 4 straight hours. A lot can happen in that span of time and the cops wont even take that into serious account, and that drunk slob doesnt even realize the difference! 🤬
Did they strike a deal for $10?
unrelated to anything but that second car in the prostitute sting, the ford escort? car was sweet as hell. you don't see those anymore.
I love 💗 watching cops 👮♀️ tv show K-9 unit catch suspects in bushes in attics and in someone’s house in someone’s car 🚗
"They all can't be this ez" yeah lmfao cause most ppl won't fall for a $10 beej. That's some Nigerian prince lvl bullshit hahahaha
Spoiler: going after prostitutes and johns did NOT decrease the STI rates. In fact, rates have only climbed since these episodes were filmed.
It's infuriating they didn't get the grampa for neglect
That cop who arrests that lady for showing him what her bf did he is having a power trip. I hope he isn't a cop anymore because this isn't the first time he arrested people for nonsense. He just likes having power and control and that makes a dangerous police officer. Alot of the cops from the earlier seasons were just terrible. The taunting, pulling people over for no reason, they beat tf out of this guy one episode and the guy was covered in blood. It was a Mardi Gras episode. It was very disturbing.
Those kids need there mom please don't call the state
The last cop on this video needs to get another job. If he considers what she did punching a cop he's the biggest jerk
What a sorry ass grandpa !!! I’d disown him for sure & I bet he’s also a pervert drunk grandpa !!!! What a scum bag can’t even pick his grankids out !!!!
I think it should be against the law for entrapment !! First she’s not a real hooker, at least at her job she’s not but it’s a total lie. I don’t see how it’s legal ? Oh but it is. !!!!
Falling asleep with your grandkids in the park is unacceptable !! and you don't deserve them !!
I never get over it these hooker and John stings Coppers act like they caught Dillenger lol
11:21 great job by the officer to teach the little girl that if you have a toy or candy to follow him into the backseat of a car. Come on now!
It was just a conversational slap to get his attention at the end there. Not an attack. LOL If anything, she was flirting with him.
she slapped the cops elbow n got locked up lol
17:00 when the pizza man rings the doorbell
I don’t care how many time I watch this show but, the intro is LEGENDARY 😂🤣
Tbh I wish we lived in a world you can nap at the park and let the kids play in the park. I wish there was no danger. It's unfortunate.
This cop was a jerk. I can’t believe he really arrested that lady for a slap on the arm that was clearly not meant as an assault. I get that she was messed up and annoying…but as a cop you have to deal with those people, and hopefully without having to take them to jail for absolutely no reason other than they annoyed you.
3 and 4 year old alone in the park??? 😡😡😡
Why not arrest the tricks instead of the johns?
21:30 Fighting over and going to jail for $39. Wow!
