So it's currently 1 a.m. but I just remembered this topic I wanted to post. Its a suggestion involving pedestrians and police activities, primarily pursuits. It would be really neat to seea few peds or even stopped people in their cars pull out their phones to record a passing pursuit. I'm not sure if this is possible, or has been suggested before, so my apologies if it has been before or has already been deemed impossible. Any thoughts or opinions on this? Would love to hear 'em! Thanks! Have a good patrol everyone! -Forse

Peds natively pull out their phones to record various activities, actually.

oh really? Huh, ive never noticed that. Well thanks for telling me, lol. 

What I think would be cool but not sure if possible, instead of a ped pulling his weapon out and shooting you in the back, he actually helps you detain your suspect.

 

Examples would be:

You're chasing someone on foot a passer-by sees what's going on tackles the guy to the ground.

You're in a pursuit by your own (backup hasn't arrived or what ever) you've managed to get in front of him, some random guy gets his vehicle behind him thus performing a rolling road block.

As above but this time a semi in front slows down blocking the road (maybe even being able to request the  semi to assist via a CB radio)
