How would you feel if someone moved next to your residence and you found out they're a cop? Would you move away? Or try to get on their good side? Or something else?

    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.

    Not american here, cops here are actually a trained job with multiple years of training before going out. 3 years pure training minimum and the slightes missbehaviour can get you fired and suspended from your job which will be marked down

      Things are more strict in America, they hold up a mirror to you and if you breathe on it and it fogs up, then you are hired.

          Yeah, I thought your name narrowed it down to DACH and there’s a lot of German cop apologists out there, because they’re white and only interact with cops during traffic stops.

    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.

        Less than agreeable or upright and actually involved in organised crime are two very different things.

          Protecting capital over the rule of law and human rights, or protecting those who do is literally being involved in organized crime.

              Cops always defend their bad apples, thus the whole bunch is spoiled.

              For context, I’m Canadian and am regularly downright proud of our courts. Our cops on the other hand, no. Just no. Routinely in the papers for egregious criminal activity and abuse of people rights.

              In the US, the courts and the cops have long been a shambolic shitshow of gangsterism. Your mileage may vary based on your country.

                  I’ll use the US as its a much clearer example. For profit prisons with kickback schemes from judges.. Illegal arrests and fines to generate dollars for podunk towns, Abusing RICO statutes for civil forfeiture to straight up rob people extra judicially. It’s straight up racketeering.. Almost everything the LAPD, NYPD, Baltimore PD Ever did. They are notorious.

    Get them really drunk than feed them drugs while you record it for a get out of jail free card.

      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.

    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

    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.
