Just my 2 cents:
A lot of cliches come to mind but the first one was:
"A dog that will bring a bone will carry one."
On a parallel theme, and I have noticed this trait with other posters on here, providers and some hobbyists to generalize, the openly announced association with LE may be motiviated by a variety of defined purposes, not the least of which is to add some level of credibility to the person disclosing the "in," but IMO it shows two critical qualities of the person:
1. risk taker
2. discloser of personal information about associates without permission.
Neither one of which is appropriate for a discrete, comfortable relationship.
Zoiey, please don't get defensive. I don't know you, have never met you that I know, and it's not personal. We are talking often on here about "safety" and "security" and "screening" ... both sides of the poster aisle. You must be concerned about your "safety" and "personal status" and others must be worried about theirs.
On another thread you began you described an "encounter" with multiple officers .... at least four I think ... from what you described .. you were being targeted (and I take your description at face value) .. and you have disclosed a relatioinship with a uniformed officer.

And here is another cliche that comes to mind:
"You lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas."
