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?

    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

    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.

    My grandmother lived next to cop. You don’t want to live next to a cop. They think they’re the authority over EVERYTHING. He built his fence three feet into her yard. What an asshole, thinking he’d run over a 90 year old lady. We forced him to move it.

    Depends on the situation. But generally agree with the top comment.

    Recently a cop help me with something not so super legal. Was kinda hilarious as neither of us knew about the other until we casually talked about work and he showed his badge. He was really sweet, and just hated his job. Lost soul. Hope he finds a better way. But he’s still a cop, so I ultimately wouldn’t trust him.

    Would you move away?

    how many people can afford to just “move away” if they don’t like their neighbors?

    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.

    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.

      You left your fingerprints/DNA on the gun safe… 😱

    I lived a couple houses down from a cop.

    His whole family were dickish Karen types and got the annual block party shut down. Their house was regularly egged and TPd until they moved. I may or may not have been involved in some of those eggings.
