To be fair, it's a great ride. You seriously can't beat it as a learning tool. Lawyers and their double meanings, eh? :)

As for not being able to stop the ride, I used to agree with you, but I've since learned how to beat it. At least in North America, the trick is to counter their offers (arrest, obligation to show ID, etc) with a demand for consideration. That consideration can be in the form of payment, information, or performance on their end.

Basically, Kim Dotcom needs to have a chat with Timothy Geihtner about how he was released from the main NYPD station (less than four hours after being arrested for felonies), and he'll never spend a night in Jail again.
