Riding in the back of cop cars

[Klynne]

How many times have you been in the back seat of a police cruiser?

Me? Twice. I was never arrested for anything though.

The first time, I was trying to cross the freeway. I was 14 and walking to my friend's house. Apparently, they thought I was a runaway. I had no idea that it was (is) illegal to cross a freeway on foot.

The second time, I left a party, and my bf was driving my car (I was 18 at the time). A very drunk individual stumbled out in front of the car, and we hit him. That was surreal. The drunk was o.k. but my parent's insurance company had to shell out the money for repairing the guy's leg. The paramedics told us this guy was plastered, fortunately, we were not.

for business or pleasure?

the first place I reported the sheriff would come by and pick me up (overcoat over my pjs) if he was in the area and there was a dui ... brains all over the road. Protocol wouldn't let me ride in the front. But the free ride was great -- as were the inside tips.

Yeah, good times.

Oh wait, I remember one other... but it was a paddy wagon, not a cop car ... arrested for protesting Clayquot Sound. Scared the beejesus outta me (said they were going to call my folks, I was young, my folks are very strict, yada, yada, yada), then they released us.

I was 15 and very high on LSD when some Mounties interrupted my antics in a sleeping bag with some loser in a public park. After pulling my tube top back up, I handed over my purse to let them search for documents pertaining to my identity, which I refused to divulge. They found something with my brother's name and address on it, and gave me a ride there, intending to deposit me. Well, he would have been 20, and he was not in his apartment: perhaps he had his own sleeping bag stashed somewhere. So we drove around a while, with me still refusing to tell them my name, repeatedly asking to be dropped off at my friend's where I started off the evening, and coming out with brilliant and winning one liners like, "One day, I'm gonna beat all you ****suckers with a stick." This repartee was not exactly winning me friends in the police department, but in the end they got sick enough of me to drop me off at the friend's. She was not terribly impressed, either.

I have been in the back of more cop cars than Zsa Zsa. And every time, I figured that if we were all going to go downtown, I was going to get my tax dollars' worth and ran my big stupid yap. I'm sure the sober, armed, six-foot something cops quaked in their boots as a handcuffed person resembling Olive Oyl and smelling like Jack Daniels told them what she thought of their mothers and sisters and the persons with whom those ladies had professional relationships. When I encounter safety force workers today I try to be helpful and polite to them in amends for my not-so-good-old-days.

I have never been in the back of a cop car sober. That's my next stunt, I guess. Peaceful protest or something.

.....I was 21 years old...Valentines day.......

on my way to get champagne and treats for my then loser boyfriend...I got into my B210, hadn't been registered for a little under a year. I am stoned out of my mind.

On my way back, still a couple miles away from where I lived...I see him pull right behind me....THE MAN!

crap...

lights start flashing, I know I am busted.....I pull over.

copper comes up to me and I am totally paranoid. It is about 7pm, socal, February. It is starting to get chilly.

So 'the man' asks about my tags...(it didn't pass the smog)...yada yada yada....

uh' mamn, your license is suspended and you have a warrant out for your arrest.




I swear officer, I don't know anything about it!

(turned out to be an error on the court system's part)

I had to go to court and show them that I paid the ticket.

Anywho...I got a ride home from the cop that pulled me over, I had to tell him about my important dinner, and grabbed all my groceries.

I rode in the front seat.

ok here's my story

i think i was 26 and i had driven a bunch of friends to the bar in the grey ghost.......my favorite car ever......it was a huge boat that my 96 year old cousin had left to me....anyway after i have no clue how many cocktails..... we walk outside to leave and my friend notices that i have a flat tire. One of my friends said "don't you worry roothe -- we'll fix it for you" and the next thing i knew there were tools everywhere a jack kind of under the car and well it was all a mess..........well i took one look at the mess and knew there would be no sorting it out that night.......so i see a cop driving down the street so i decide to flag him down. Let me put it to you this way...........i looked like i had rested on my last laurel that night as did all my friends (all five of them).....so the cop pulls over and says "can I help you" and i said "yes you can.......my friends and i are very drunk and i have a flat tire and besides that i'm in no condition to be driving so you NEED to drive us home"......he of course said "no i don't" so I said "yes you do.......it will be on your conscience forever if you leave us on this corner and something bad happens to us tonight because YOU have seen the condition we are all in".......so he said "ok get in"....my friend bianca and i got in front and the guys got in back..........he had to drive us two towns over and on the way my friend bianca started felling sick..........so she opened the window and proceeded to start puking out the window........to which the cop said nothing.........i swear to you i about tinkeled in my pants i was laughing so hard..........we were all dying as was bianca but for different reasons..........anyway mr. police officer then kindly dropped us all off at my parents house...........we thanked him and that was it.........and that's the day i learned to really respect the police and the job that they do.

I think twice. Once in a paddywaggon whilst we were on our way to a party in college with a dozen or two of us and once when I was sixteen and shoplifting from TJ Maxx.

The interiors are nice and slick, easy to wipe clean if one were to ooze something on it.

I got a ride home in the back of one a few years ago when my friend paul got a DUI.

One of the cops was really cute...I have pics of him somewhere...

I kept asking them if I could smoke on the car ride home....

I feel the need to excersize my right to remain silent until I consult my attorney about answering this question.

twice for bad things

a friend of mine once got so stoned with another friend that they had a mad laughing fit right in the middle of the Leidseplein in Amsterdam.. lots of people do street theatre there so they already had a crowd, until the police came. they still couldn't stop laughing and literally rolling on the floor that they were brought home in a police car.

Hitchiking to New York. Got a ride with a Chatham County Sherriffs Officer transporting a prisoner. The prisoner sat in front and I sat in back. Go figure!
Hitchiking from New York back to Florida. Got a ride from a Pennsylvania State Trooper for a few exits.
Never hassled by either cop. They were actually quite nice although the Penn State Trooper checked to make sure I wasn't a draft dodger...
