Here in the provinces of the Philippines, the common police vehicles are not sedans. But rather modified vans that are similar to the passenger jeepneys. Commonly we refer to the police vehicle ‘patrol’.
The photo shows me riding at the back of the police vehicle. It’s the first time that I rode the ‘patrol’.
Probably you are wondering why the cops picked me up and thinking, ‘What did you do, John?’.
Not that I broke any law here, not joined any rallies. There was none here anyway.
The cops picked me up to bring me.to their station which is about 40 kilometers away. Their chief wanted their local area network done and my friend referred me for the job.
It took me more than a half-day to finish the job. It could have been longer if the Police Captain himself did not help. He was a very hands-on type of person. I expected someone on that position would just wait and see. But no. He helped me install the cables himself.

Good that you could help the police out and since you did such a good job they will probably turn to you again when something else is needed,
I haven’t ridden in a police car yet. The ride has to be interesting.
Well…only if it wasn’t a long ride. The trip wore me down a bit. I haven’t made a long trip even before the quarantine. But yeah it was interesting.
I wondered how it felt if I had been cuffed. hehe. But the passenger cab is open on the sides. People might mistake me for a criminal if I had been cuffed. hehe
i have been in a police vehicle for a ride-along, and once in a bus after a protest.
Ohh… so you were quite an activist back then? 😀
i was and am. I believe in the fair and ethical treatment of all people.
The obvious question is – were you paid for the job? (lol)
Hehe. That’s what I forgot to mention. Of course yes. I got paid. My first paid job since the covid 19 pandemic started actually.
Getting a job during COVID is great, Congrats.
