How come there is no show called "America's Smartest Criminals" or "America's Stupidest Cops"?

[bluestateguy]

I think these would be great ideas for new shows.

1. Cops aren't big fans of giving up their dash-cam vids of themselves being stupid.

I'm sure there are some god ones out there though.

[MrScorpio]

2. Well, all the criminal masterminds are only found in comic books and James Bond flicks

We all know what happens to them

About the cops, how can one tell a smart one from a stupid one?

They're all about about the same

3. Brilliant idea!

I'd love to see a video of the cop who told me "you can't even speak American English"

4. Reno 911 meets both of those requirements but it's a comedy.

[DarkTirade]

5. ... because the smart ones are the ones who don't get caught on tape?

:shrug:

6. I've known some of both...

if you've got a camera, I can tell you where to start filming tomorrow.
