What would a KB copper do?

**peasea** · 8th August 2008, 16:13

Scenario:
Big party, loads of bikers, a rally perhaps, live music, good vibes, everyone havin' a great time out in the sticks, nobody knows what anyone does for a living etc, no cell phone coverage, no video cameras etc...

You work in a blue uniform, so to speak, but obviously you're off duty and having a few, kicking back, talking bikes etc. Like I say, nobody knows....

You wander over to a shed/a bar/a table whatever and get invited to join in some 'fun' with people you've been in touch with online but never met.......

Would you;
Decline and walk away or
Decline and bust their arses for......
1) Smoking a joint
2) Smoking some P
3) Snorting some coke
4) Popping some acid
5) Popping some E's
6) Shooting some smack
7) Popping (now illegal) party pills

In other words; which of the above would prompt an 'official' action, if any?

Also, if that action were to be taken would it be taken on the night (right there and then) or would you leave it until the next day/week whatever, bearing in mind that if you DO bust someone they're likely to be off their tits in no time flat. (Plus, with no cell phone coverage you're most likely on your own.)

I'd also welcome thoughts from those who are not in the Police Force as to which of the above might/should be reason to get busted at such an event and why.

(The perps are not selling or forcing, merely offering.)

I'm just curious to see what drug it would take to cross the blue line out in the sticks.

Unfortunately, it's unlikely that anything would be said on a public forum.

Gotta have discretion.

I do know an ex cop who was put in this very posistion when he was in the force. Went to a party with his new lady, first time he had met any of the party goers, and when they found out he was a cop, the attitude of some changed. One young twat went up to him and said '' what will you do if i light up a joint in front of you''? my mate said '' nothing why''??

Basically told him fuck off and grow up.

True, but the persons in blue could PM me with "an unofficial opinion" and it doesn't stop the plebs from having a point of view.

Anyone who deliberatly breaks the law in front of an off duty cop is a cunt.

It's matter of respect. Not only for the officer but also for your self.

That would deserve a bust. I'm not talking about throwing it in anyone's face; just a stumble-upon.

Fair comment, see my reply to Maha.

I imagine they'd take a blind eye approach to the situation and nicely decline-and try to avoid the fact that they know about it, they know what things go on, and unlike the movies they do go off-duty (obviously depending on circumstances)

Yeah I think it's meant that it's unknown that the guy is a police officer, so not intentionally trying to test the guy just an unfortunate offering!

but yes intentionally (like the earlier post) deserves a boot in the ass, I totally agree with that

Bullshit.

My life, My actions, (not that I'm dumb enough to smoke weed in front of a cop, well, i don't even smoke weed but that's not my point) I couldn't give a shit about what they choose to do for a job. If they want to hang around with people who don't break any laws then they can fuck off to the police bar, Though that's bound to be populated by bent bastards. I know a few "social" groups where the token cop brings the weed for the lads.

Anyway, There choice to be a cop, Let them deal with the social repercussions.

As you said because Police officers never break the law

Sure, it IS their choice to be a cop and they are often put in difficult situations off-duty. I'm just curious to know which drug on the above list would prompt 'after-hours' action, if any.

I agree with "my life, my actions" and if I'm on a run or a rally then what I choose to do is my business (provided I don't cause anyone any grief) but COULD you be busted at such an event? If so, for what? That's what I'm driving at.

I'm sure the cops who attend rock concerts know that half the audience is off their tits.........some get busted, some don't.
