Ride Along

Friday, October 26th, 2007

Its been a slow couple of weeks around here.
Thus the lack of posts.
Nothing to shoot = nothing to post.

Today I had the honor of doing a ride along with the Rapid City Police Department.
Doing a ride along can either be fruitful or frustrating.
You either get something great or nothing at all.
One can only hope some huge story breaks as your in the car with a cop.
(Bank robbery, hostage situation, huge fire, shots fired, et al.)
Or at least you get a bust of some sort.

Today was my lucky day.
After driving around downtown for a good hour with a few routine traffic stops we got a call of a man who had just been mugged.
The caller unfortunately had a couple of warrants so no matter what someone was going to jail.


(Yes I’m allowed to run the man’s face, once he has been arrested and charged with something I’m allowed to…)

I am currently working on an audio slideshow with the images.
It should be posted next week.
I’m rather excited about it.
