Idk where the Fak y’all live but the cops are super chill and give a fuck about the community where I live (medium sized township in Ohio).
Let us set off “illegal” fireworks on the 4th of July as long as we don’t give the fire department a reason to do their jobs, actually do a good job of keeping community safe, give out warnings instead of tickets when possible for small stuff, that sort of thing. I’ve got family friends in the PD, and they are some of the best people I know.
They taught me what to do if I ever get pulled over and how to make the cop feel the safest, that stuff. If they ask for ID, I’d give it, because they don’t want to drag shit out, and I’ve got shit to do. The only time I’ve had any interaction with them on-duty was when a guy ran a red light and clipped the family van, and the responding officer was the family friend, so he didn’t even have to ask for our ID.
