She says she told her son to cooperate...

Major mistake. NEVER, EVER talk to the cops. Nothing good ever comes from it. The only possible exception might be if you are the victim of a crime; and then you must still also be careful and seek out the advice ofan attorney.

Best thing to tell a cop who comes to your house to "talk" is to ask, "Do yo have either an arrest or search warrant?" If not; "Get off my property."

I once had 'bad neighbor' problems. Two visits by the cops and they realized that it was better to toss the chip off their shoulders and be good neighbors. Fortunately for all, they didn't follow your advice.

Yeah, and then you learn that a serial rapist has been skulking around the neighborhood and is now under your daughter’s bedroom window.

Never say never.

Wow...is that really the case? Are the cops the real "enemy" where you come from? Are they so completely out of touch with those they are supposed to "serve and protect"?

Incidentally, you do realise by following that advice you forfeit all right to complain about soaring crime figures, falling detection rates, and spiralling police costs?

As my defense attorney cousin has told me repeatedly over the years, the police officer is not always your friend.
