Something I've always wanted to do is do a police ride-along. Now was the perfect opportunity to do so and to question how the local police was going to help enforce the new law that took effect July 1st 2012 in Idaho that bans texting while driving. I thought it was an excellent time to do so. There are still a few grey areas on what they are able to do, but at least the public is aware that driving and texting combined do not mix. Thanks to the Meridian Police Department and the nice officer for my escort. We didn't catch anyone in the act of texting while driving, but made a couple pull overs and issued papers to a gentleman.

Zach just found out he couldn't go on the ride along as you have to be 18 years old and have a background check....he didn't pass the background check. HA j/k Guess I passed!
Ready to head out for our tour of the city of Meridian!
When the cop is away...Mrs. Idaho will play!
Hopefully we don't have to bring out the big guns on our trip!
Hmm...wonder what THIS button does!?
He pulled her over for an expired registration, but let her off with a warning..nice guy!
Hopefully, this will be the ONLY time I get to see the back of a police car. It is NOT cozy in there!
Thanks for the ride Officer!
