Unfortunately what closed the politic threads is the fact that "grown adults" did not know how to be cordial, and took things way too personal  . My questions to Sedan have been out of interest to his views, and not meant to incite. But I agree, before the thread draws flies, I will stop this line of questioning.
I do have an "ask a cop anything" question, however. In a ride-along, where do you do you drop off said passenger on an emergency call, or do you take them with you? |
The ride-a-long goes wherever I go. It is not uncommon for things to happen with a ride-a-long on board; criminals are unpredictable y'know?!?
It is for that reason some departments won't allow many civilian ride-a-longs despite the individual signing a release of liability waiver. A good lawyer will poke holes in those waivers. Most of our ride-a-longs are either applicants who are in the hiring process, Sheriff's Department Explorers or sworn custody Deputies who are preparing to transition into a patrol oriented role in the field (…
e.g….finally becoming "real" cops 
). When a ride-a-long is with you who is not already sworn, you try not to
find anything that might escalate quickly and/or you hope something doesn't find you, but again, criminals are unpredictable.
