Depends on the situation. But generally agree with the top comment.

Recently a cop help me with something not so super legal. Was kinda hilarious as neither of us knew about the other until we casually talked about work and he showed his badge. He was really sweet, and just hated his job. Lost soul. Hope he finds a better way. But he’s still a cop, so I ultimately wouldn’t trust him.

Something else

Not really pay attention to them at all. Can’t be arsed to care, unless they start waving that gun.

I’d be more discreet about my moonshine operation, that’s for sure.

Just ignore them? I already ignore my neighbours that aren’t pricks, ignoring a prick is no different

Not american here, cops here are actually a trained job with multiple years of training before going out. 3 years pure training minimum and the slightes missbehaviour can get you fired and suspended from your job which will be marked down

I wouldn’t really be able to just up and move so I’d just avoid them as much as possible and hope for the best

Cop lives somewhere down the street.

I ignore him.

But I also have talked to the neighbors on purpose like. Twice. In almost twenty years lol.

I would go out of my way to avoid them

Would you move away?

how many people can afford to just “move away” if they don’t like their neighbors?

Most people can’t afford to just “move”.

I lived a couple houses down from a cop.

His whole family were dickish Karen types and got the annual block party shut down.

Mostly mind my own business, but expect to have to record and report a domestic abuse.

Nothing. Not even talk to them. Being cordially distant.

Cops can be fine, many of them want them do good. But law enforcement also attracts/breeds a certain type of thumbhead person that either loves or hates you.
