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).
Quote:

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.

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.

Damn, you are stuck between a brick and a hard place. If shes actually a friend though wouldn't she not give a shit about you smoking some pot?
Most cops Ive talked to don't personally have a problem with people who smoke weed, and are simply doing there job.

I don't know where she stands on it now. She was never a fan, though. There's just something not right about the whole thing. I know it's not a big deal or anything, but still.

Come on LearyFan. Not All cops are bad people. I understand your paranoia. Its natural for our people, but you are over-reacting. This girl used to be a friend, and now your shunning her because she works for the police? Does she work for the narcotics departement? If you make her a "myspace friend", you have nothing to lose. You don't grow, you don't talk about anyting bad on your girl-space page. Everybody in your town, probly already knows your a closet stoner anyways, who cares? Being friends with Police has its benifits. Say you ever get pulled over for weed, and she shows up on scene. She would probly let you off with a warning. Call her up, and see if she wants to hang out. I would love to bang a cop.

cops arent cops all the time... they do ahve lives outside the force... my nieghbor sold all kinds of drugs, meth and shit like that, and his mom dated cops all the tiem (cop junkie)... and i was over at his house one day, chillin, (not cause i really wanted to though) and an old friend from down the street was there, one of the biggest smokers you'd ever meet, and he was tellin me about how he's becoming a cop. (he said this while smoking a joint) and he was serious too...
one of my mom's ex boyfriends brother was some head sheriff for like 20 years or so, and she said he always had the best bud.. they were coke heads, alcoholics, and they liked to party...
i say be friends with her, you might be doing your community a favor by showing them that stoners are cool people, and that next time they pull one over, they might just say "ya know what, i'm not gonna bust my friend learyfan, so why would i bust this guy?"
just be honest with them, a little skeptical at first, but off duty, they will be cool with you... on duty, they will let you go with mere warnings, and if you get in good with all the cop friends, then they will be much more lenient toward you... you just gotta talk to em, they will understand.... i wouldnt be supprised if they smoked...

I think you're way too paranoid, and that they probably have better things to do than investigate you because you listen to "psychedelic music"...a lot of those bands have fans that don't ever do any drugs.
My mom, for example.

has it ever occured to you that having friends in the police might be a good thing? I haven't met a cop yet that wasn't as crooked as a barrel of snakes. Comes in handy sometimes. As long as congress keeps writing unenforcable laws (like prohibition), cops will always be corrupt. Its not even a choice.

My mom, for example.
I'm not saying that they're going to investigate me. It's just that I keep a low profile. I don't really look like a stoner. I don't have Dead stickers or Marley stickers on my car, etc.. I just don't like the idea of cops knowing my business because I don't trust them.

so what if they investigate you? so what if they come knock on your door? just keep a hundred dollar bill handy. I've seen cops turn down 20's, but I've never seen a cop say no to good ol benjamin franklin.
I know cops who, for $20, will run your ss# through their computers and check if there are any current/pending investigations or warrants, fyi files, the whole works.
you see, once a cop has been on the force a couple years, they tend to lose their naive ambitions of saving the world and realize how things really work. And right now, stoners are the last thing on their minds. Believe me, any cop thats been on the force awhile knows that stoners and psychedlic users are relatively benign. They are much more concerned with murderers, rapists, robbers, and hard drug pushers. Sure they have the right to fuck with potheads, but unless they are total assholes (which most aren't) they generally don't. And the ones that do try to fuck with you are usually just looking for a handout.
In general, I try to make friends with cops and above all treat them with respect. If you recognize that they are a human being doing a necessary job then they will recognize the same of you.

Yeah, that's good advice. I know that I am definitely not a target but it just weirded me out. I'll probably go ahead and accept her friend request. Perhaps she could get me out of a jam some day. Who knows?
You guys gave me some good advice and that's what I love about you. Thanks!

a gurl i was seeing in high school, was madly in love with her too, yeah she became a cop. she knew i smoked pot, she knows how madly inlove i am with mushies, she knows that i do E. etc. we stopped talking over the years, but she knew my email addy. with that she did a search, found me, sent a friend request. i accepted.
ive posted anti-bush shit, counter-culture pics, me smoking a bongload, just pix of me being myself. i dont grow anymore, my house is clean & wouldnt warrant a successful bust.
we still dont talk, i was rather surprised when she left a myspace comment on one of my pics the other day.
we've always been on good terms. just because shes a cop now, doesnt mean that she wasnt a good friend, and i imagine the last thing she would want to do is put her friend in jail & fuck up his life for something petty. (that might change if you dont accept her friend request~! myspace is the devil!) :p
i even offered to hang out with her (in public) & catch up.
dont be timid with yourself. nor be coy of your beliefs in front of a cop, or any government official, friend or foe. speak how you feel, express yourself all that you want. we live in a free country. respect her as a friend, nothing more, nothing less and everything will be alright.
besides, who cares about myspace anyway, when she has ALL your info at the flick of a few keyboard strokes anyway.
ohnoes!!!

that reminds me, if anyone here has ever read 2600: the Hacker Quarterly, they regularly stress that people into alternative type shit should always try to be as open as possible about it, because hiding your beliefs sends forth the message that those beliefs are wrong. Besides, it seems to me that one of the things cops hate most is lying or being sneaky. If a cop catches you in a lie, there goes his respect for you. A lot of times they respect honesty to the point that they will just let you go even if they know for a fact you are in violation of the law.
also, being stand offish with cops is liable to raise their suspicion and possibly make them think you are involved in things much worse than you actually are. Acting suspicious and refusing to comply with cops is the best way to make them start a file on you.

I know these ones by experience. NEVER try to hide something from a cop they can find for themselves easily.

I think you should add them as a friend. I don't think anything bad will come of it, and you're probably worrying a bit much about it, although I do understand your concern. I don't think they're going to randomly come to your house, or message you and inquire as to why you listen to the music you listen to, or anything ridiculous like that. They probably just want to keep in touch with an old friend. I think the risks of adding them are far outweighed by the negative impact of denying them, ya know?
