Default Anyone ever go on a Police ride-along (in the front seat)?

Got to go on one last night with a family friend who's a Sgt. It was fairly uneventful because the weather wasn't great, so I guess the crazies stayed indoors. The only thing that really happened was a stolen car was spotted parked at the suspect's house about a block away from the dealership from which it was stolen and I got to see him get arrested.

Otherwise, it was pretty cool to see what cops actually do during a shift. Anyone else ever been on one and have stories to share?

Used to do frequent ride-alongs with a BLM Ranger when I was a BLM Firefighter. Yes, they're real cops. I'm both an NRA an US Army Expert marksman as well as an EMT. He liked having me around.
