I have too. I was running down a street at about 05:45 one morning when a police car pulled up beside me and the window we wound down, the policeman in the passenger seat asked me what I was up to (in Norwegian). I replied that I had just left my car at a mechanic's workshop and had had to run back because I forgot to drop off the key and that I was now running to the station to catch the train to the airport. He said get in we'll take you there. I probably would have missed the train and possibly the flight otherwise.

@Briggett I think it is much more common than people think. The media only reports the things that go wrong and now that we have access to news from all over the world we get the impression that every member of the police is a psychopath.
I haven't had many interactions with the police but those that I have span five countries. I have been treated with the utmost courtesy by police officers in the US, UK, Poland, Norway, and Sweden. Of course none of these involved serious incidents but then I imagine that is also true of most people's interactions with the police.

@ninalanyon that’s great for you. I’ve visited and lived in quite a few countries and by this policing practices has to be desired.

@Briggett Not perfect in Norway either. Weapons training is notoriously inconsistent. Some years ago the police were attempting to apprehend a criminal and one policeman carelessly fired his hand gun. Internal walls in Norwegian houses are typically just centimetre thick boards on 50x50 mm studding. Even a hand gun round (H&K 9 mm I think) goes straight through it; in this case it also went through the criminal's nine year old daughter.

Yes. But I was there because it was my boyfriend's assigned vehicle. If you have never been in the back of a cage, it is a real treat. (Sarcasm)
People urinate, deficate, spit, and throw up in the back of them when they are drunk. They try to hide their contraband so it doesn't go into the jail with him. Now when I dated the trooper he didn't have a cage but his car was cleaner because other officers transferred his arrestees.

@Lilred2289 Strange as it was several years later I was making a sales call and meet my police Sargent again in a restaurant in Augusta. Of course, he didn't recognize me at first but I knew him right off. He had retired and was eating with his old officers. His voice confirmed that it was the same man. He was surprised to see me in a three piece suit looking all formal. The smile he had on his face when I viverfied his stories to the other office was gratifying to experience.

I was, too at about age 6. Someone called in a threat at my school, so the administrators phoned my parents and had the police escort me home.

Sounds exciting. I want to be handcuffed.
BlueRain · 51-55, F
I'm sure you were precise and would never make a mistake.
turbineman40 · 80-89, M
There was an officer right beside me who was in charge. I was under direct orders to follow his commands.

Do you want to be handcuffed for sexual fun or humiliated by police?
