wtf that sounds sketchy as fuck. Would you feel comfortable calling the station and finding out if they actually sent cops your way? If not, I bet they’d want to investigate anyone impersonating police officers.
If it were legit, the minute you said there’s no Naomi they should’ve moved on unless they had a warrant to enter the premesis. But the fact that they started asking you unrelated questions tells me there’s no Naoimi, it was just a ruse to get other info out of you.
Is there even such thing as a plain clothes cop making house calls? Or is that just something we remember from bad 80s tv shows? With today’s accountability, body cams required by law & all that, I doubt these jokers were the real deal. Their politeness also reeks of being fake cops.
No they were definitely legit. It’s common to park out of view hence I didn’t see the car but I could tell by the demeanour odd as the encounter was that it was genuine.
The German band EAV has a whole song called Ding Dong about exactly that; never open the front door, it’s probably something unpleasant.
I have a camera I installed pointing at an angle that covers my front porch that does a really good job of checking who is waiting at my front door. Most of the time I’m at the back of the house where I can’t hear the bell, flaw in the design of the house since where I am wasn’t built with the rest of the house.
So it doesn’t look like anyone is home, where I am. For so many years my truck always sat in the driveway, whether I was home or not, so that’s not a reliable indicator. I screen who I answer the door for. It wasn’t that expensive of an install, just a pain to go about because I had to crawl around the attic.
On the other hand, it’s closed circuit and I don’t pay subscription fees and that makes me happy. I think it was $350, but of course now with inflation and tarriffs it would probably be more. I still have two cameras to add I just haven’t felt ambitious enough to do the work.
