It's a nerve-wracking tale of a taxi pickup gone wrong! What seemed like a regular ride took a bizarre turn, and I found myself in a cop car, sirens blaring, and even befriending a police dog.

    Dianne - many police departments in the U.S. (and around the world) allow members of the public to do "ride-alongs" where a member of the public can drive around with police officers in the police vehicle while they are on duty. As far as I know, ride alongs in the U.S. are not restricted to citizens, so you could do a full ride along (several hours) on your next trip to the states. You do have to arrange them ahead of time. I'd be interested in watching you and seeing your reaction to a full ride along with a P.D. here in the U.S.

    That was nice of the officer to drive you after that scary encounter. The content with your first ever ride in a police car I’m sure made up for the lost time from that sus Lyft driver. I saw a video about a woman who was waiting for an Uber or Lyft late at night after drinking with friends and a guy pulled up and she assumed he was her driver and jumped in his car. He wasn’t and she was found a day or so later unalived. They caught the guy thankfully and he went to jail. I’m glad you double checked that car and refused to get in. It’s scary out there!

      The most popular weapon in mass shootings is actually pistols because they're easier to conceal. I will grant however that semi-auto weapons tend to have a higher body count but a "mass shooting" is defined as 3 or more victims.

    Diane is a lot smarter than her hair color would suggest
    So when a creepy Lyft driver showed up, she did protest
    I’m glad you used your brainhead and things ended well
    And that you got to meet Max and have a story to tell

    so glad you didn't get abducted. the ride in the po po car was cool. I've been on a ride a- long (what they called it then) when I was investigating being a volunteer police officer a long while back

    I had a roommate from England, we had just moved into a New apartment and she accidentally got off at the wrong stop, wondering around two police officers stopped and asked if she was lost and she said yes, so somehow (this was before cell phones), they got to a phone where she called me and ask what was our address, I had to tell her to hold on while I went to look at the door,lol, two blondes who had no idea what their address was. The officers were kind enough to drive her to our flat, thinking that wouldn't happen today, but you're situation gives me hope. Very smart of you Diane not to get into that car, hope you reported it to the company. Thanks for sharing.

    anytime someone tries to scam you, take a picture of their face and the license plate of the car... you can use this to report them to the police so that they can get caught and charged.

    Wow Diana, you have warned adults and kids of a personal experience that I personally would have probably hopped in after hearing my fake name. After you were smart, how were you not having panic attacks or trauma? Because you look cool as a cucumber.? I think I’m more scared for you.
    Having said that, I can believe, like me, the two times I have been in a police officer’s car was without handcuffs, and because I needed help! Officer Cory, thank you for allowing her to take this great footage to share on her platform for people around the world to demonstrate what fantastic police officers like you and other blue lives do for people. The sweet dog and the interview were something I could have watched for an hour. It made me melt.
    I love this channel ❤❤❤❤
    I’m probably late to this video, but it would be really neat if you called in and requested a “ride along.” I think certain cities still allow it, but it has to be requested and they certainly do a background check so it may take a day or three or a week or three, but it would be amazing to see you do a Vlog as being a passenger in a ride along. Especially with Officer, Cory
    My stepdad is a former sheriffs deputy/officer. Thank you for making my heart feel better after having secondhand trauma for what could have happened to you.
    Sending love to you and yours from Orlando, Florida, Heather
    Next to come, Diana does ride along, breaking bad style, watching meth houses, get broken into while waiting in the car or gets to hold the radar gun for people speeding on the interstate. 😊 giggle. Giggle.

    The old system of yellow cabs was a lot safer. Sure Uber and Lyft have background checks, but there are easy ways around them. Diane is very saavy and aware, as she mentioned. A lot of people would have just got into the car when it pulled up.

      Around here, as I suspect is the case elsewhere, The “old Yeller “ got comfortable with the lack of competition, and had allowed their service to deteriorate to the point that they were easy targets for upstarts like Über & Lyft to come in and steal their lunch money. Calling a cab meant an hour or more wait, an unclean car, and sketchy drivers.

    Nicely done, I'm proud of you Diane. On the plus side, that whole thing lined you up with a furry officer and a slightly less furry officer. :)

    The reason Corey didn’t go after the creepy Lyft driver is because, he was probably out of his jurisdiction. If you look at his car, the Department he works for is UC Irvine, which is a university in the University of California system. I’m not sure what it’s like where you live, but in the U.S. universities, especially ones run by the state, have their own police departments.

  • @gdhaney136

    Usually, officers aren't allowed to give rides to civilians, but I think because of your Uber experience and accent, he thought it would be helpful. Glad you're a smart one and didn't get into the car! Stay safe out there.

    • @jeremyrichey4243
      @jeremyrichey4243 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Officers in the US can. They typically won't if you're just trying to use them as a taxi service, but after an accident or in a situation where you're in need they'll often offer a ride.

    • @danielmurrietta9775
      @danielmurrietta9775 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Courtesy rides are a thing and at officer's discretion. She's a tourist and just got creeped out by a lyft, pluse he's a university officer, no shade, but he's not patrolling a big city so he probably has some time for "community outreach"

    Let up hope there's never a "next time", but if there is, if the sketch driver asks your name, just say, "Nope! Sorry, I'm ." And the reason Officer Cory didn't chase down the white car is that technically the driver didn't actually break a law. Glad it all worked out though. And so very glad you're still safe and with us.
