Sidewalk Cops 1

Sidewalk Cops 1 (I) is the pilot episode for the YouTube-TV-like series Sidewalk Cops. Aired on April 12, 2012, the pilot episode introduced Gabriel and Micah for the first time. In this episode, Gabriel and Micah pull over a green jeep for speeding, but things escalate when the driver runs off.

Plot
The episode begins with Gabriel and Micah sitting in the police car. Gabe remarks that the best part about being a cop is eating donuts. Not long after, a green jeep with a girl and a boy zooms past them. Seeing that it was clearly going past the speed limit, the two pursue the jeep. After a lengthy car chase, the jeep pulls over, and the girl driving it leaps out of the jeep. Gabriel and Micah leap out of their patrol car as well, leading to foot chase. Eventually, Micah grabs the girl, and holds her long enough for Gabriel to cuff her. The boys then put her in the car, ready to take her to the station to charge her for evading the police. Gabriel turns to the audience and says ”Now, that’s one more bad driver off the sidewalk”. The episode ends with a shot of the patrol car, with the girl looking anxious, and Gabriel starting it up to head back.
