why would cops get food for free?
Businesses that give away free drinks and whatnot to cops tend to have more cops around, and if a place is known to have more cops around they tend to get stolen from less.
Legal small bribes. It is why places like Speedway have a button for free police beverage. They want cops to stop by on their breaks so people regularly see cop cars in the parking lot.
Whenever someone from Japan visited us, they were always surprised seeing cops drinking or eating out while in uniform.
With time, I gather this is quite ~~uncommon~~ forbidden in some Asian countries, but I've seen it is pretty normal in Europe as well (wonder if they pay there).
Never seen a free for cops in Swiss.
