* The detective in ''GoneInSixtySeconds'' is this.

* ''Film/SuperTroopers'', both for the stoners as a BrickJoke, and as a variation, for the highway troopers themselves who keep having run-ins with the Murberry Police Department.

* ''SuperTroopers'', both for the stoners as a BrickJoke, and as a variation, for the highway troopers themselves who keep having run-ins with the Murberry Police Department.

* In ''JingleAllTheWay'', Ahnold mistakenly aggravates a local cop and then continues to have run-ins with him throughout the film (including accidentally detonating a package bomb in his face). They reconcile at the end when [[spoiler:Ahnold saves the day in the Turbo-Man outfit]].

* ''TheHangover'' - they're caught and dragged in at the worst possible time. Thankfully, the protagonists get off ''nearly'' scot-free.

* ''Franchise/IndianaJones'' does this with the Nazi officers a few times in ''Film/TheLastCrusade''.

--> --''JingleAllTheWay''

* In the old Disney film ''The Absent-Minded Professor'' (the original version of ''Flubber''), Alonzo Hawk and his henchmen are constantly foiled whenever their car crashes into a cop car, which ''always'' causes the cop to spill "BOILING HOT COFFEE!!" in his lap. Needless to say, he promptly arrests them.

* Big-time PlayedForLaughs in ''Wild Hogs'' when the protagonist motorcyclists continue to run into the same police officer multiple times. It's suggested that the officer assumes they are homosexual (and envies their casual relationship), and HilarityEnsues.

* Combined with InspectorJavert in ''FullMetalPanic Fumoffu'': In one episode, Sosuke and Kaname get chased by an enthusiastic policewoman because they're speeding along on a bicycle, with the cop eventually wrecking her car. Several episodes later when dealing with a [[ItMakesSenseInContext serial ponytailer]], the pair runs into the same cop, who got into deep trouble for wrecking her car and is now trying to fix her reputation. Sosuke recognizes her and uses his [[BurgerFool Bonta]][[PoweredArmor -kun]] suit in order to prevent her from identifying him. Of course, this causes her to develop a [[LupinIII Zenigata]]-like fixation on Bonta-kun until the real culprit is found.

* ''TheBluesBrothers'' - State Troopers Mount & Daniel, and John Candy's lieutenant.
* JamesBond has a not-terribly-pleasant encounter with Louisiana Sheriff J.W. Pepper in ''Film/LiveAndLetDie'', and runs into him again in ''TheManWithTheGoldenGun'' while Pepper just happens to be vacationing in Bangkok.

** Speaking of Robert Downey Jr., this probably applies to Tony Stark with Agent Colson and/or Nick Fury in the ''IronMan'' films.

* The EPA agent from ''{{Ghostbusters}}'' continually harasses the eponymous group until he finally [[spoiler:gets a warrant to shut down their "environmentally dangerous" ghost containment field]]. [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone Hilarity did not ensue]]...at least, not until the very end. And even then, he's ''still'' not very repentant.

* In the ''{{Terminator}}'' series, the Connor family keeps running into the same police-psychologist, Dr. Silberman.

* A serious example of this in ''CriminalMinds'', where a cop Morgan kept tangling with in his youth fingers him for murder years down the line.
* {{iCarly}} has a cop show up in one of the first episodes, where they accidentally change a large traffic sign to say "PEE ON CARL" of course, Officer Carl arrests Spencer. Then about 2 seasons later, some gay pet photographers ruin the iCarly studio (long story), and Officer Carl shows up again, and doesn't help them because of the events in the first episode.
* In ''{{Frasier}}'', a policeman pulls over the Cranes for mistakenly being identified as having a stolen vehicle. Many hours and miles later, they make an illegal U-turn, and the same cop pulls them over for it.
* The time travelers from Joseon run into that same cop again and end up in jail in Series/RooftopPrince.

* ''IndianaJones'' does this with the Nazi officers a few times in ''The Last Crusade''.

* In ''[[DieHard Die Hard 2]]'', John [=McClane=] gets a parking ticket from a no-nonsense airport cop, and then spends the rest of the film butting heads with the chief of airport security because of the Chief's idiocy. The kicker? The two antagonistic cops were brothers. At the end, they reconcile by tearing up John's parking ticket.

* In ''Film/StarTrek'', when Kirk and Scotty are caught in engineering, the security officer who discovers them is the same one Kirk was fighting earlier in the movie. He even says "Come with me, [[IronicEcho cupcake]]!".

Compare InspectorZenigata, who is actively pursuing the protagonist.

* Definitely applies to ''TheRocketeer'', where Billy Campbell's character is continually harassed by federal agents who want the jetpack he has. After they [[spoiler:shoot up the Nazis]] at the end, cue instant good relations.

-> '''Officer Hummel:''' Turboman, we sure could use a man like you on the force.

--> --''JingleAllTheWay''

Bob has had a pretty rough day. He's been dumped by his girlfriend, bitten by a dog, soaked by a rainstorm, and he's just found out that he has 8 hours to find his kidnapped buddy. [[TemptingFate How could things possibly get any worse?]]

Oh, right. By quite literally [[OhCrap running into the same cop who pulled you over yesterday.]]

* Throughout ''{{Superbad}}'', the main characters keep running into the cops whenever they ''least'' want to (buying alcohol underage, getting run over, etc.). The cops make it up (to Mclovin, at least) by letting him shoot at their burning cop car.

* In ''LiloAndStitch'', one background conflict is the fact Lilo's family situation (her older sister takes care of her as if they were mother and daughter) is not looked on kindly by Child Protection Services, and it is the same BaldBlackLeaderGuy they seem to be constantly running afoul of. In the end, [[spoiler: it's revealed he's really with the MIB (a.k.a. good guys) and was ObfuscatingStupidity the whole time.]]

-> '''[[spoiler:Howard Langston]]''': (''pulls off his Turboman mask'') Thanks, I'll keep that in mind! Oh, uh...I'm sorry about the bike...and the coffee...and the bus...and, uh, [[CrowningMomentOfFunny the bomb]].

* In ''KingOfTheHill'', there's an episode where Hank is pulled over several times for different reasons by a female cop who wants to have close contact with him.

* I know it happens in ''SuperTroopers'' too, but I forget how.
