Probably. The culture here is not much different than in the states (lived in the states for 12 years). I’d guess more rural parts of Canada will have this. In my small town out east people stop to chat with their officer friends. The police here are scarce since we don’t have our own department and just use RCMP. I feel safer seeing less police cars.
The cops? Abusing their authority? Selectively enforcing laws to engage in personal vendettas against people? They would never! /s
There are literal “get out of jail free cards” that LEOs give to their friends and families. They are called police courtesy cards.
