...the music playing in the subjects vehicle kinda makes the whole call take on a weird vibe?

While half my shift went to assist our city PD on a fight call that turned into a 'shots fired' cluster f@$k, I was hanging loose for any calls when i heard Queen's "Another One Bites the Dust". I chuckled to myself and didn't share that bit with the guys.

And last night at clusterf@$k of a family dispute the home owner had his car stereo playing, from the complaint it had been playing all day-and been part of the problem, Van Halen was playing "Change". But neither the drunk homeowner or the more drunk sister in law would give or "Change" their tune.

Just thinking out loud. I've been up for 17+ hours and go in again at 1800...So I'm about over the weekend with a full moon.

Gone on stupid disorder calls where the family is arguing over shit we can't do anything about. Found myself watching football on their tv while standing there listening to them argue about whose turn it is to do the dishes or some crap like that. Assist officer saw what I was doing and followed suit, started talking football to the homeowner and it ended the disorder lol.

As a rookie in '95 I had to guard a crime scene in an apartment where a mother and her 4 year old had been stabbed to death. One of the Detectives who was there earlier had put on a radio and the song "Good" by Better Than Ezra came on with the lyrics "Searching for signs of life but there's nobody home".

Went on a call for a diabetic. He went hypo watching tranny porn. Roommate called 911 went he heard the guy having a seizure. It was on when we got there and on when he woke up after I popped a D50 into him.

Hilariously awkward.

In 1999 I worked a call, college age female hit a large truck head on. 0200, rainy, wet roads. Took a while to extricate her. She was signal7.
Rolling Stones heart breaker was playing loud as hell on her stereo, while I was getting the hurst tool set up.
Every time I hear that song now, I can smell the trans fluid and rain from that scene.

When I was still a road sgt we started getting cars with accessory ports, the kind where you can plug in your iphone, ipod, etc. I set up play lists that were based off of the types of calls I was going on to set my mind up for whatever was developing.

Soon after, we put cameras in the cars. After a few reviews by my Chief, he told me to knock off the "mood music". Attorneys were trying to use my song selection as grounds for dismissal.

I got in my patrol car to head to a structure fire call a couple of years ago and Kenny Loggins' "The Heat is On" came on the radio. I laughed.

During my FTO I was transporting a mental we had just picked up. My partner starts scanning through FM channels and comes across Cypress Hill insane in the membrane. My partner cranks it up and the mental who had not mad the slightest expression, not spoken a word...she just had this blank stare that slowly turned into a shit eating grin as we jammed out to that song. it was disturbing but hilarious.

About 2 months ago I went to my first autopsy. The medical examiner was removing organs ( FM radio was blaring ), the smell was " well you know" . Just as I walk up to the table the song " Don't Stand So Close To Me " started . Will never forget that moment and song. :)

Driving a cardiac arrest to the hospital when AC/DC's Highway to Hell came on the radio. Did what any good EMT would do and turned it louder. I was giggling then as I am now. A second cardiac arrest event with some good pumping-and-blowing taking place in the residence with the family APS and my phone rings with Bloodbath's Breeding Death ringtone as background music. Timing is everything.

As I read some of the responses I chuckle to think there are others out there sharing the same experiences.

So do other guys on your shift come over the in car radio ( we use the in car radio on a different channel then our portable) and call out different radio stations because of the current song playing?

I too got the talk about the soundtrack during pursuits and hot runs lol. Also got called out one morning for a robbery with shots fired. Got rigged up and me and the dog run a hard code jamming out to lamb of god. It was hot that day and the dog was heating up on the track. I laid him down while another dog started running and asked another unit to bring my vehicle to me. Imagine my surprise when I see a deputy chief roll up in my truck with the music still going

asked "what the hell is that?" And walked away chuckling when I told him lamb of god...and the dog picked it

<<<<<Fire, not LEO.
Back in the mid 80's we went out to a possible suicide, way before everyone staged for "scene safety". Arrived to find an old biker dude in his secret room in his garage, watching porn, wearing a bra, lacy panties, garters, stockings, well you get the picture. He was accidentally strangulated by his fanny pack doing the dirty thing big tough bikers do when nobody is watching.
In the background, playing really loud, In A Gadda Da Vida. An old 60's song by Iron Butterfly. Never forgot the connection with the song.

About 2008 I responded to a B&E alarm, front glass door is busted out. Several other officers and I are clearing the house and on the TV in the living room is the Jamaican music channel on cable. After clearing the first floor we start up the stairs just as Bad Boys begins to play, yes the theme from COPS. The TV was loud enough that it was audible everywhere in the house. The second floor of the house and finished attic were cleared with lots of muffled laughter and snickering.

Not PD but got a call for a medical alarm at a residence, instructions were to look for key under a rock in the yard, of course we couldn't find it. Made entry through a window into a pitch black room full of large porcelain dolls, blaring some music that sounded like it was from Soul Train. I looked at my partner and said "There's a good possibility we are both gonna be in a hole putting lotion on our skin before this is over"

At my old duty station, as a fed and not a CO state peace officer, we couldn't legally swear out the 5150 affidavits. So basically we transported our crazies to the nearest hospital that would take them. That was at least an hour away. An hour drive is plenty of time for a crazy person to calm down and get sane.

After a call or two where the psych doc ended up releasing guys who 2 hrs ago had been stark raving mad I needed a way to sustain their insanity. Enter the AC/DC and Dr Dre mix CD! Worked every time. And on the off chance it didn't, a local religious station did the trick.

I think best results were Live Wire cued up a couple minutes before the ER entrance.
