i went on an apd ride along in my senior year too, it was like from 7-11pm and he basicly drove around and was like “tints, lets pull him over” all night long, oh and he also checked the sleezy motels for plates with an address in buffalo because i guess people go rent out rooms and smoke crack.
this wasnt on my ride along but my friend went on one too and said that the cop had like some girl that he “visited” for ~an hour while leaving the car idling with my two friends in it. they said that to them it appeared he was having an affair with his wife (he had a ring)
