We all know it happens right? Who hasnât thought of blowing a cop to get out of a ticket? I have a few friends in Law Enforcement and I was thinking of establishing some âpreferentialâ treatment prior to that infraction if possible.
So when I broached the subject with my friends I got only smiles and that far off look people get when they are reminded of a great sexual encounter. Instead of answers I got a âride-alongâ to find out just what it would be like.
If youâve never sat in a police cruiser of any kind the first thing you notice is that there are guns, radios, switches and knobs all over the place. The console in between the front seats makes it almost impossible to make contact with the person in the other seat. Almost impossible.
I figured that the first thing is to select a good parking spot. Parking in a dark alley draws suspicion immediately it doesnât matter if youâre a cop or not. I liked the thought of being behind the billboard like in the old movies but alas, most billboards are too high for that now.
Then it occurred to me â every cop knows a place where they hide to catch speeders. That would be the place â you could even leave the radar on for thrills and to make it appear more like youâre working. Of course when I mentioned this to my âescortâ the wicked smile returned. Yes, they know the optimum place on their âbeatâ â I neednât have worried.
There are some definite necessary clothing choices. A skirt or dress is a necessity. Unless you donât want anything out of this little âbrush with the lawâ. But I chose my short plaid âCatholic school girlâ skirt and no panties to save time. Under my white shirt was a push-up bra that fastened in the front.
As my 10-86 (the radio code for a ride-along in my part of the world) progressed it became apparent that not only is location important â but so is timing. We called in that we were going to conduct some âArea Familiarizationâ which I found meant that we were going to be off the beaten track and werenât going to be able to respond as fast. The dispatcher seemed to take it as gospel. But I wondered wouldnât the Police Dispatchers have caught on by now? I got yet another smile and later earned the right to sit in dispatch for a few hours â but thatâs another storyâŚ
