Police Ride Along?

So...do you know of any cops who profile people with bumper stickers of certain elected officials? I hope they are out there!

I know one who WANTS TO, but is a much better man than most, so doesn't act on it.

I went on a couple when I was young and it was really interesting, no super exciting calls but still fun. I quickly came to realize all the B.S. they have to put up with, dealing with drunk neighbors and such who can't get along, calling the cops on each other just because they are pissed. Made me think they should enable a law that allows them to crack someone on the head for being a dumbass...

I want to reiterate. The ride along I went on wasn't boring in the sense that it was not worth going. Just that anyone who thinks going on a ride a long will be an excitement packed cop-for-a-day adventure will be sorely disappointed. Dave_L, I know that's not why you were asking.

My last ride along I did I had my hands behind my back...

Well don't be a criminal.

Sounds like you fell for the old "touch your elbows behind your back" trick.

I have ridden in both the front and back seat, much prefer the view from the front...

In Jr. College in CA I went on a ride along with LAPD as part of my administration of justice classes. The officer was called to a drunk and disorderly and he arrested a guy that just would not shut up. In the car the guy was yelling, cussing and when he started spitting the officer "screened" him. It took two screenings to get the guy to just sit and shut up.

I wasn't looking for a shoot 'em up, movie style ride along. I figured it'd be cool to see the other side. How they approach situations, things they deal with, etc.
