The show has writers. I also wonder a lot if people do the extra crazy shit if they're doing it because of the cops or if it's because they're on COPS and want to get on tv. That's real time composition. Quite sure they're all legit people and not necessarily actors though.
Some of the early seasons were clearly 100% reality because so many of them had 10 minutes of bs filler with weak traffic stops and interactions with the public that don't even lead to anything. I think that's changed, though.
