I live in a small town. So, it's not like I would see someone on Cops that I knew or even lived in my town. Or so I thought.. until Cops was filming in a nearby town. I didn't even know that they were filming in the area.
While I was watching the show, they had a domestic disturbance call. Sure enough, it was in my county. Not only that but it was between two people that I'd seen around town quite a bit. It was such a shock!!
Have you ever seen anyone on the television show Cops that you recognized?

Yes I have actually. I grew up in a small town in Georgia, and the COPS show was doing a series on small-town police departments. Coming from a small rural town, you know most everyone who lives in the town. They showed a clip on the show of a traffic stop by the police department in my hometown of Twin City, Georgia. The woman being pulled over proceeded to pretty much beat the hell out of the police officer before he could get control of her. I was with the sheriff's department myself there, but this was before they did the show. I had moved on to another career by this time.
The police officer on this clip was a guy I went to high school and played baseball on the high school baseball team with. The woman who beat his a$s on the show was the cousin of a friend of mine, so I knew BOTH of them...it was funny as hell...

I've actually never seen anyone I know on an episode of COPS. But I can imagine how crazy it would be to see someone you recognize. I bet it would be even more shocking to see someone that you not only recognize, but are relatively familiar with. I know I'd definitely would be!

I have never seen someone that I know on Cops before, but I have often also wondered if there has ever been anybody that has appeared on the show more than once?

LOL, that would be funny. I heard some kind of rumour that the police in our area don't like to do shows like Cops and they won't give them permission to film them. I think we had our sheriff's department do a couple of shows with them, once. It was cool because I recognized a lot of places.
Wait a minute, there was one guy I recognized, though I didn't know him personally. He was a guy who used to camp out of his car all over the back country. I was familiar with him, but I didn't know him.

About 10 years ago a woman I worked with was on there. She had killed her daughter and escaped from prison. We all freaked out!!! It was really weird.

No, I've never seen anyone I know on COPS but twice they have taped busts near my home. The first time was 2 doors down from me and the other was 1 block west of me.
