I heard that saying too, “if a stranger tries to make you do something illegal, it's a cop” or something close to that. Isn't it the principle of a sting operation?
- tclancy 1y agoYou just ask them if they’re a cop, they have to tell you.

- t-3 1y agoThat's a myth purposely spread by cops in order to fool people. Even if it was true, unscrupulous cops looking for promotions would be breaking it like all the other rules they routinely ignore.
- pixl97 1y ago>unscrupulous cops Just saying cops has the same meaning in less words.
- lioeters 1y agoThat's what they want you to believe.

- tclancy 1y agoOh Lord, I apologize for being a person almost congenitally incapable of using /s. I had thought/ hoped the idea of an AI "cop" having to tell you it was a cop was ridiculous enough on its face, but it also occurs to me I am of a certain age where that was a very popular legend in the US and that doesn't apply to everyone. I accept the downvotes as appropriate!
