Everything is collected by car and the distances are real, so which side of the loop someone is on matters more than the mileage suggests. Meeting near a major freeway exit rather than deep in a neighbourhood saves both sides a long detour.

And meeting in person is common enough that many police departments now run designated safe-exchange areas in their car parks.
