I'd say 90% of the show "Cops" revolves around a routine stop, where the officer proceeds to get permission to search the suspects' belongings or car, interspersing comments like "is there anything that I might find?" and "don't lie to me; tell the truth now". Then the officer finds a small amount of bud, a pipe with residue, or some other paraphrenelia, proceeds to chew out the suspect, make a big deal about what he's found (and the suspect's 'lying' about it), handcuffs him/her and makes an arrest. My reactions are 1) BFD!!! and 2) is that what cops spend all their time doing? What a monumental waste of time and resources.
