Real Stories of the Highway Patrol episodes

[Oldschooler81]

This was a more movielike cop show that was on in the early-mid 90s. I especially like the re enactments, as well as the earlier shows (when it was more intense and had a higher percentage of narrating). I'd be the most interested in those, although anything anyone has not on my list would be really appreciated too.

Here's five full early shows from 1993 (when it was the most serious, the presentation looked 80s. R stands for reenactment):

1
-Southern California daytime freeway chase
-R: Colorado early morning prison break, two guys steal a truck
-Nice guy in LA gets booked for having weed
-Utah hit and run serious accident, bystanders help

2
-Woman's horrible domestic assault on Utah roadside
-LA teen dude stopped, suspicious driver
-R: Arkansas armed robbers assault woman, go on high speed chase
-Colorado rollover accident, hit and run

3
-series of short SoCal segments (cuts in a little late): Woman given roadside drunk test; street racer teen pulled over; officers help retrieve woman's possessions from the freeway; drunk cowboy pulled over
-R: documentary of 1986 Missouri serial killer
-Rural California officer and his police dog

4
-Detroit man uses cellphone to call for help after he's shot
-R: Distraught suicidal man runs from police, crosses from Colorado into Wyoming
-Colorado man tries to bribe witnesses after a DUI

5
-Florida clown in costume stopped for drugs
-Central LA, car stopped late at night, guy has PCP
-R: Wyoming apartment brawl, angry man with a rifle has a standoff
-Texas officer stops lady in clown makeup


-R: Man robs a lady at an ATM, runs with his family and is stopped by a Wyoming policeman


Then in 1994-96 I taped a load of reenactments (usually just those and sometimes the intros as well as closing credits). These are the ones I have:

1 "Topsy Turvy" - violent North Dakota teen breaks out of juvenile hall, assaults old woman and steals her car
2 "The Tipoff" - 3 drug addicts rob Rhode Island pharmacy
3 "Accidental Passengers" - Police pursue South Carolina con who has two innocent girls in the car

34 "The Gift" - Illionis cop uses special self defense on suspects taught to him some years before.
35 "The Mark Kozel story" - Arizona man hijacks limo, has shootout on the side of the freeway

Also I have one full episode from that time
-Louisiana woman does hit and run on a kid on his bike
-Oklahoma cop stops speeder on his way to work

So all in all basically 6 full shows, and 36 re enactments.

hi, real stories of the highway patrol airs on realtv channel.

[Oldschooler81]

Aw man, I didn't even know that (thanks though).

I don't get extended cable and I live in an apartment complex, so that might be tough. I'll still trade segments/episodes if anyone wants. Do they ever air the very early episodes (from the first season in 1993, when they had the big yellow graphics and heavy narration on the reenactments)?

Oldschooler81. It has been awhile since you have been on but I really need an episode of Real Stories Of Highway Patrol, I believe it was shot in Nov 1995 and it was about Shirley Mcavoy. Do you know if you have this?
