Cop wants to be my myspace friend

Gimmie some advice. An old friend from highschool just sent me a friend request. I like her but.........she's a cop now and she's dating another cop. We've lost touch since she's become a cop (it gave me the chills) but I knew that she would eventually send me a friend request because we're friends with the same people and I knew she'd see that I have a page.
If I approve her friend request I will have the local police looking at my myspace page. Plus, I'm sure she has other pig friends on myspace who might possibly check out my page. I don't talk about doing drugs on it, but I talk about psychedelic music a lot (only a stoner would do that) and I even copied and pasted some classic Chinacat thumbprint stories (only someone who was enthusiastic about psychedelics would do that) and posted it as a bulletin for my friends to read (a couple of them loved it, by the way). So that sucks, but upside is that if I'm ever in trouble, it would be nice to have a friend on the police?
If I deny her request then we're basically no longer friends and I'll have a cop that will be kinda angry with me. This sucks. I'm fucked either way.

Myspace sure dictates people's lives now huh?
I say befriend the lady. Who cares if cops know you're a druggie? Can't they look at your page anyhow?

They probably won't really care if you do drugs or anything. In my experience, your average police officer doesn't mix friends with business. Don't take my word as fact, though.

Yes, but they can't read my bulletins and they wouldn't always have a link handy to remind them to check it out. I think there are other things that only your friends can see, but I forget what right now.
I don't know. Maybe I'm worrying about it too much, but there's just something about that that I don't like.

Did she know about who you are back when you were actual friends? If so, I don't think it's a big deal.
I don't do the Myspace thing, so I don't know how serious any of this is, but my impression is that you these types of things are meaningless. Everyone sends whoever they can a friend thing. Is that not the case?
In any case, there is only one thing you can do. Follow your instinct.

Yeah, I don't know where she stands on that now. She wasn't a big fan of my pot smoking years ago as I remember, but I have no idea if she's hardcore about that or not. Keep in mind I live in a fairly small town (30,000 - 35,000 people).

Well, if I do neither she'll eventually get the hint because she'll see that I've updated my page and whatnot since she sent the request. Doing nothing is basically the same as a denial.

Edit your page to look more "cop friendly" and then approve her.

Yeah, she knew I liked to smoke weed and do psychedelics. She actually went to Woodstock 99 with my friends and I. I still remember her holding her nose as we smoked weed down the road.

It's the same as in real life only you can approve or deny someone's friendship with the click of your mouse. Also it has something called a "Top 8" for your friends list. I've actually heard of that causing trouble with people ("Why am I not on your Top 8??" or "Why did you move me from #1 to #2??", etc..")

True. I just thought I'd get some advice from Shroomerites. You guys know the score.

How about you approve her and then ban her from your friend's list?

I stopped growing years ago. Yeah, if I was growing now would REALLY be freaking out about it. Trust me. I'm definitely pretty subtle about my "interests" in case people from work check out my page, but I just don't like the idea that I'm going to have to think before I post a psychedelic or anti-Bush (I live in a red state) picture or a song or something.

You can keep the hippy references and such. No cop is going to get on your ass if you listen to the Grateful Dead for example. But, I'd remove all weed and shroom references though...you shouldn't admit to getting fucked up on substances.

I don't post about illegal shit really, but you know how it is. Perhaps I'm overreacting, but I'm just very uncomfortable with being friends with a cop. It just isn't natural.
