A San Antonio police officer was suspended 30 days without pay late last month after an internal affairs investigation determined he went shopping while on duty and visited his home three separate times while assigned to calls for service, discipline records obtained by KSAT Investigates show.
Back to the shopping thing… I can see the PR value of a uniformed cop buying groceries, but what’s the cop supposed to do with what they’ve bought if they can’t go home right away and put them into the freezer?
I would say either restrict it to small things, or allow a drop off (the cop in question was spending much more time than it would take to drop off groceries, even putting stuff away)

Just strap them to the body of the next person they shoot and pick them up from the morgue later.
