POLICE WHO DO NOT ALWAYS FOLLOW THE LAW -- JOHN STOSSEL SAYS "GIVE ME ABREAK" -- ON ABC NEWS' "20/20," FRIDAY, JUNE 27

Plus: Can Flip Flops Really Help You Get in Shape? Bill Ritter Reports

Can the police punish you for breaking rules they themselves ignore? In Warren, Michigan, one cop alone issued almost 4,000 tickets last year for running stop signs. But when people complained to Detroit ABC affiliate WXYZ reporter Heather Catallo, she took her cameras out to see if cops stopped at the stop signs. Most, it turned out, did not. John Stossel asks Warren's police commissioner if this isn't just a moneymaking scam, and says to all those cops who would punish us for not doing what they themselves don't do, �give me a break.' The report airs on "20/20," FRIDAY, JUNE 27 (10:00-11:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.

Plus: Flip flops on steroids� that is how some people describe Fitflops. They're stylish shoes that claim to trim your calves, thighs and other parts of the body with every step taken. With that promise, no wonder over a million pair -- at $50 each -- have sold in the past year. But do they really work? Bill Ritter reports.

"20/20" is anchored by Elizabeth Vargas and John Stossel. David Sloan is executive producer.
