"I saw this series on A&E - i can't get enough of this stuff. The series follows the Union/Essex Auto Task force (based in Newark NJ) as they combat auto theft. The cast is very likeable and comprises a tight-knit team of seasoned cops for this specialized operation. They use some high-tech methods & gadgets to do their jobs - rigged decoy cars (that can be locked + stalled out, via remote control, to trap the thieves), computerized license plate identifiers that scan and ID stolen cars in seconds, and the like. A lot of cat-and-mouse situations in the series, as they pursue auto theft suspects (and sometimes, end up involved in helping out other law enforcement operations, catching suspects wanted for other crimes, etc). Very interesting to watch - if you like "COPS", this series will definitely appeal to you. Above all, this series will give you an appreciation for the risks that the police take in protecting people & property on a daily basis - this is really, really dangerous work, in that the nature of this particular type of law enforcement virtually GUARANTEES high-speed chases, direct confrontations with criminals and a lot of tense situations once they stop and have to arrest the suspects."
