So, I'm stopped at a Tim Horton's, and I happen to meet an old classmate. We decide to sit down and have coffee and talk. Whilst we're seated, a trio of cops come in, order some coffee and sit down.
As we're leaving, I stop at the counter, get a pack of 20 Timbits, and drop them off on the cop's table, saying 'You gentlemen have a good day.' And walk out.
My classmate is shocked. He demands to know why I would do something like that. I respond I make it a policy to be nice to emergency services people, be they cops, firefighters, or paramedics.
I then get told, and I'm quoting here: "You shouldn't do that! They'll NOTICE you!"
At which point, my only thought is: "When the hell did we get this freaking paranoid, in SASKATCHEWAN of all places, about the cops?"
