which criminals on COPS do you have the least empathy for?

The #1 criminal I have the least empathy for was the one from Las Vegas (2008 Season 21) where a guy was cruising around a parking lot in a minivan with its lights off, the officers did a traffic stop on the vehicle and it turned out the suspect actually robbed the owner of his vehicle as well as his belongings and the owner of the vehicle was in a wheelchair! He also had a mask on him as well as a firearm (the suspect is a convicted felon who has just gotten released from prison for home invasion robbery)!

The suspect also made threats to kill the victim and his family

Another criminal who I've had no empathy for was a 30 something female named Teresa on the final segment of Season 23, Episode 7 where she got arrested for DUI and causing an accident while driving, I've felt totally shocked and appalled when she felt no shame or remorse for her actions and she hit a vehicle for driving too slow, I don't blame the officers for getting upset with Teresa at all, this happened in Amarillo, Texas

There are a couple segments where females caused crashes in Amarillo. Can you be more specific about the situation?

Teresa was driving a white truck and crashed into a slower moving vehicle, the officers tell her that in the past couple minutes there were several hundred vehicles driving down the road and she was very lucky that she only hit one car, it looked like it was on a service road because it was located next to the freeway.

I think I know that segment. It had both Devin Cantwell and Troy Roberson in it. I remember Roberson asking about her causing a crash on a busy freeway was funny, which she said no. I liked both Cantwell and Roberson in their appearances and thought they were very laid-back. She definitely had no remorse for her actions.

That other segment about the DUI was pretty interesting as well. I remember her getting emotional over it.

Her not having remorse over her actions made me feel she has no shame for her wrongdoing, I also liked seeing them tell the suspect she is very lucky she only caused one accident on a busy freeway, I didn't watch COPS all that often during Season 23.

Agreed.

I saw the other segment you mentioned and couldn't believe she was lying about who was operating the vehicle, I'm glad the officers caught her in a lie, it never pays to drink and drive, I hear that a DUI can cost you up to $12,000
