You are on patrol and witness a fellow officer accepting free meals from a restaurant owner who openly states he does it to 'stay on good terms with the police.' What should you do?
-
A
Accept your own free meal since the officer already set the precedent
-
B
Ignore it since small gifts are a common and harmless courtesy
-
C
Report the situation to a supervisor, as this may constitute a gratuity violation
-
D
Confront the restaurant owner and tell him to stop
