I seem to remember this was a Reno 911! episode but my YouTube searching hasn’t been able to find the episode/clip.
I think they were chasing a naked man but none of the cops wanted to touch him for obvious reasons. They made a half-hearted attempt to cuff/capture him but as soon as he crossed out of their jurisdiction (county line or something) they throw their hands up because that’s not their job anymore.
Dude, how? This is exactly it!
If I didn’t get an answer here I was going to rewatch the series (which I wouldn’t really have minded). Wouldn’t have taken me long evidently haha.
Solved!
