This is from a few nights ago but I went on a ride along with Washoe County Sheriff's Department from about 3 pm to 2 am and from 3 pm to 11 pm I wasn't allowed out of the car at any of the calls. It wasn't until the Sheriff's Deputy I was riding with dropped me off with another Sheriff's Deputy that I actually got to get out of the car. A few months ago I did a ride along with the city police and they let me out at every scene, including one that was a welfare check on an old guy who hadn't been seen for a few days and apartment reeked (he was dead). I signed a waiver, if I get shanked or shot by some meth head tweaker the department is safe from prosecution and I went on the ride along to see some action, not to sit in the car playing Angry Birds on my iPhone.
