Aren't there laws that prohibit that activity? The municipality/county
would be liable if anything went wrong. Are they insured for 'civilians'
keeping police 'company'? The litigation lawyers would get pretty
excited if she was hurt.


Yes, I believe the officer received a reprimand. But on the long night patrols
in rural appalachia it's a pretty common practice for deputies to have someone
with them to help keep them awake on the, long monotonous patrol routes.

The young lady could've easily ended up wounded or worse.
