Depends on who is riding. If it is someone I know, it's usually very easy. But annoying people are no fun. And on top of it all my gear and paperwork has to ride in the back. It's like me going to your office and moving your filing cabinet to a very inconvenient part of the building instead of next to your computer.
I did one in 86, highschool. Several of us knew the officer through school events. Was mostly boring, but did have some good points:
while clearing a house; "I hate finding dead people she says"
Driving around... "I love driving over curbs in a caprice" :>
Picked up a DUI driver, which was good, since we as students were part of a Drinking and Driving awareness campaign at school. [Pepsi]
I went on two, as a part of the Aurora Citizen's police academy. One officer preferred silence, while the other loved questions and chatting. There were some interesting stops: DUI, burglaryand a runaway teenage girl. I enjoyed it very much.
