You're thinking of cop shows from the '70s and '80s, not reality.
No, I am thinking of what I have seen in real life. In my area there is almost always 2 cops per vehicle. I was unaware this was not standard.
What is your area? I've lived in about 20 US states, in cities and rural areas, and it's always been 1 cop per vehicle.
I did more research and I found out it actually isn't standard where I live now, I am misremembering probably because I haven't had many interactions with police here. This is a somewhat standard practice in major cities though which would explain why I was familiar with it. I will admit copaganda probably reinforced that though, most media I've seen does depict 2 officers. But whatever, I'm always happy to learn a new reason to hate cops.
I have never seen this.
