Hey everyone I was reading the forums and was thinking about making a post for stories about weird or funny things that police officers see on a daily basis. So if you have a story of something that happened on a ride along, or you are an officer and you are wanting to share some of the weird, funny or frustrating things that you see I would love to hear them.

 

Ill start with a story of something that happened to me on a ride along that occurred last week. My neighbor is a county deputy and he invited me on a ride along for a graveyard shift. Well we started at 6PM and immediately got a call for a domestic that turned into a felony use of a deadly weap. that took us until midnight. After that the calls died off so there was nothing to do, so we decided that we should go to his spot where he normally sits for traffic. Well right when we blacked out we got a guy going 25 MPH over the speed limit, that was strike one. So deputy S we will call him pulled behind the car and ran the plate. The plate came back for a red 2011 smart car and it was on a tan 2000 camery, strike two. So deputy S calls into dispatch the traffic stop and lights him up, and of course what does he do? drives for two more miles before pulling over, strike three. So deputy S calls for back up and at this point is very peeved at the Suspect. Well when he walks up to the window what does he see?? a 7'0 black man wearing a tutu that is two sizes too small and blasting baby by Justin Beiber... and his excuse for all of his strikes?? "sorry officer I was trying to find a spot to pull over" this road has many stores and gas stations so in my book that really doesn't matter.  Well when we ran his DL it came up revoked and it also came up with 3 felony warrants for Poss. W/intent to distribute. Those charges gave us probable cause to detain him and search his car. Right under the drivers seat what did we find? 21.4G of meth,1 lb. of marijuana, and a Glock 22. That traffic stop was the weirdest one I've ever been a part of.

So wait

 

A seven foot black guy, in a tutu, blasting Justin Beiber?! I'd say the drugs got to his judgement. Though is it wrong I'm laughing so hard at the mental image of a seven foot black guy rocking out to Beiber in a tutu?

Needless to say once we dropped him off at booking we couldn't stop laughing for the rest of the night. Deputy S even gave the next guy we pulled over a break because he just couldn't keep it together. If it is wrong to laugh at that mental image then I don't want to live on this planet anymore hahaha.

Suddenly I have the urge to create a meme pic based off of that.. But a 7 ft guy in a Camry? I'm gonna guess it was a sardine can in there

TO PHOTOSHOP!!!

So this one comes from a friend whose dad is an EMS in NY State, he often hitches rides home with cops afer their shift. I was laughing so hard when he told me this on the phone. For the purposes of this, let's call him Danny.

He rides along with this cop an an unmarked blue CVPI on their way home as they live a few minutes from each other, and this Mustang pulls up next to them at the lights and the whole Stang is shaking with rap music, so the guy stops at a light and the cop gently nudges the back of the car to get the guy's attention. Nothing major, just a tiny push.

So my friend's dad gets out and asks wtf he's doing (his exact words were 'HEY YOU ASSHOLE WHAT THE F--K ARE YOU DOING AT 1 AM BLASTING LOUD MUSIC?!), the guy in the Stang gets out. Nerd glasses taped together, sweater vest, he has a Syracuse student ID, let's call him John Doe for the purposes of this story, let's call this nerd Bob.

So Bob gets out and explains the stero's been glued as a prank, and he's driving to get glue remover, so this cop asks if he can check in the car in case he's got drugs.

Bob agrees so the cop gives the Stang a once over then tells Bob to pull over up ahead, so Bob does, the cop then tells Bob to get out the car. He does, the cop goes through the car after Bob asked the cop to.

Why?

Well, Bob wanted rid of his CD collection. And for good reason. Nicki Minaj, Beiber, One Direction, you know, awful stuff. He told the cop he had lethal weapons in the car, the cop was going to call for backup when Danny spotted the CDs and asked Bob what he meant by 'lethal weapons'. Bob explained the CDs were so bad they could kill somebody with bad music.

So the CDs got disposed of, and then Bob asked for an EMT. Cue Dannny saying, and I quote

I'm sorry, Medicine isn't advanced enough to cure bad taste in music. That'll be $500 please.

I just about lost it at his reply, he's a 100% smartass....and the cop is no better. I do have more tales from Danny, but I need to clean them up a lot before I tell any more. I like being here thanks.

hahahahahaha wow I can just imagine a nerdy guy like that driving a stang while blasting music. I bet the kid had a heart attack when he heard the "bill" hahahahaha. My family friend isn't much less of a sarcastic a** hole to people ether. all I have to say is us army intelligence over in russia for 20 years and now he is a county sheriff haha. Ill have to clean up some of my other stories too cuz I like being here as well and lets just say that people aren't exactly proper when they are contacted by the Police haha.

Urgh you lot are lucky. Emergency services here in Toronto aren't keen at all about ride alongs. Police, fire, EMS, all of them have pretty strict restrictions against ride alongs :( Only people who would ever get to go are the students studying police related courses in university, and even then its gotta be approved by somebody very high up the ladder. 

Same here. British forces don't do ridealongs due to shitty "Health & Safety" regulations. :/

Huh!

 

I'll catch my local village cop and ask him about it while walking my dog. Though, admittely i'm up in the North and it's a case of sticking two fingers up at elf 'n' safety here mostly. I've had more luck asking the ambulance services and even then only got a meh, we'll get back to you on that....
