One reason people don’t want cops in their homes and businesses, things get pocketed, especially cool stuff and cash.

A bar in my old neighborhood was getting burglarized so the owner started sleeping in it at night, he caught 2 on duty cops doing the thievery.

My dad had a steel supply company. The adjoining building had a fire. As I pulled up in the car with my dad, the local cops had flat bed trucks there stealing the machinery out of the warehouse. My dad went in his office and called the state police. The next morning all the machines were back in place, wired back up and air supplies reconnected. A couple motors needed rotation reversed, but otherwise ok.

In our township, the police were the thieves, fencing goods, burglars, etc.... My dad always reinforced to keep them out of our lives, and we, off their radar. It took years, but the local magistrate and the state cops busted a few and forced more off of the townships payroll. I learned a lot.

Unreal. Same thing happened in my town. It was a police Lt who actually had a key because the bar owner thought he could trust him.

My college room mate’s sister was dating a cop. He got arrested for possessing stolen property. Seems that while on his night time patrol he was stealing everything he could. A victim spotted their stolen property on his front porch. A Darwin firing right there! Just one of the cop corruption stories I am personally aware of, and not the worst.
