    Cop lives somewhere down the street.

    I would just mind my business . If he occasionally needs to use a trash can or whatever, I’m not causing any trouble. No reason to assume the worst, but if he starts causing trouble, yeah moving would be the only solution there.

    Police Station 100m away. I’d encourage a few more to move in. They do serve and protect where I live.

    I did have one down the street at one point. We each minded our own business and I considered it good for my family’s safety to have a police car always parked nearby

    There was a cop in the neighbor right outside ours ( you have to drive through that neighborhood to get to ours), I thought having him there would curb some of the drug activity, I was wrong. It was obvious pretty early on he was dirty.

    My neighbour growing up was a cop. He and his wife were Christian fundies who had like 8 kids.

    I literally never had a single bad interaction with them, and by all accounts he was an alright dad to those kids. I still see him when I visit my folks for the holidays, and when I do, I see his kids now all grown up with kids of their own visiting their parents

      If you can pull it off, that might legit be worth it, just in case. In a single party consent jurisdiction making the recording wouldn’t even be illegal (IANAL).

      Of course, in a perfect world, the cop wouldn’t take drugs, and if they did, would put justice over their personal worry you might hypothetically leak it. I’ll let the readers hash out the probabilities.

    A bunch of social media accounts with their name and address may start attacking Scientology and right-wing crazies.

    My neighbor is a transit cop. Idk what his deal is but he hasn’t spoken to me in six years so I figure we’re cool.

    Helped my cop neighbor move his gun safe into his house. We mostly keep to ourselves but I’d rather him on my side in a crisis.

    Depends on the people, if they are good people then let’s be friends, if not then just ignore them and be cordial. Like with any neighbour.
