how do you answer this question?

[SATexas]

So im getting this question from friends and family a lot lately...
" Why dont you want people knowing you are a cop??"

Just curious how you guys would or do answer....

[iamacop]

Because I said so...

[913]

Because when I'm on duty I'm a cop. When I'm off duty, I don't give a shat........unless I want to.

Plus, I don't want to draw any attention to myself. If I decide to let the world know I'm a cop, it'll be on my terms.

This is a perfect example....

So people don't ask me mundane police-related questions!!

Same reasons other professionals dont want to people to know what they do. Such as Doctors, because people want free doctor advice, or a lawyer, because they want free law advice. Police, because they want to tell you about their ticket they got and how much they hate cops. Secondly you may want to work undercover one day and everyone knowing your a cop does not help that.

When the black and white is parked in the driveway it's a little hard for people to not know what you do

One evening when I was visiting the soon to be in-laws, their newly moved in neighbor was out front watering his lawn, standing 3 feet away from his police car, and my girlfriend's mother greets him and asks, "So, Steve, what do you do for a living?"

My face then became acquainted with my palm.

Heres your sign...

I plan to just tell people "I work for the city."

Yes, we are garbage collectors.

[K9krazy21]

LOL, I just say that I help people with their problems.. Don't really go to much further than that..

[Blue Breed]

Simple I work for the road department.

[JTShooter]

I live in the ghetto. So when people see me around they ask me what I do, if I say I work for the city, they say, "oh, you POlice" so now I just tell them I'm a firefighter...
