why would cops get food for free?

[-] Evrala@lemmy.world 42 points 5 days ago

Businesses that give away free drinks and whatnot to cops tend to have more cops around, and if a place is known to have more cops around they tend to get stolen from less.

Legal small bribes. It is why places like Speedway have a button for free police beverage. They want cops to stop by on their breaks so people regularly see cop cars in the parking lot.

Whenever someone from Japan visited us, they were always surprised seeing cops drinking or eating out while in uniform.

With time, I gather this is quite ~~uncommon~~ forbidden in some Asian countries, but I've seen it is pretty normal in Europe as well (wonder if they pay there).

Never seen a free for cops in Swiss.

So that they help you quickly when you need it. Not saying it’s right. Just saying that’s how it works.

Idk man, where I live, cops have to help you as quickly as possible when needed. Whether they get free meals or not, it's literally their job.

The problem is it’s hard to prove they could have been quicker

Protection racket, I presume

It's called a protection racket, it's popular in organized crime.

Because business owners are bootlickers
