why would a police car drive slowly infront of my house, then park?

i live on a corner lot, and i noticed today (easter) a cop car pulled slowly infront of my house, then around the side and parked for maybe 2 minutes, then pulled away. what could he be doing? im not into drugs or illigal stuff. the town has a population of 9000. i am a paranoid person (obviously). just wondering if they are spying on me, or hacking my network or something strange. i know i sound like a freak

    Perhaps you are so paranoid you dreamed up the cop. Seriously though they were hacking your network and they DO know what you were doing now. They had to get close enough to get the signal so they could tap in to it. If you were wise you'd go walk around your yard near where he was and make sure that he didn't "drop" anything.

    Geez, get over yourself. THey could be stopping to talk on the radio (safety issue), establishing a presence in the neighborhood (lots of people at church, thieves might take advantage), stopped to drink some coffee, take notes, watch for speeders.

    It isn't all about you. If you are that paranoid, I have to wonder what you are doing that you would fear the cops for no reason.

    I don't know. Do you live next door to a donut shop?

    Unless you have no near neighbors (i.e. you live in some sort of backwoods place in the middle of nowhere) you have no reason to suspect the cop is interested in anything you're doing. It could be any one of your neighbors, or the cop may just have been passing by and taken no interest in your neighborhood at all.

    Could have been any number of things. Could be he was scoping your place out for entry and exit points. Could be just warning you that your being watched. Could be that he was looking for a place to grab a snack. Could be anything.

    Good luck to you and have a nice day.

    Maybe the cop thinks you're hot.

    You are a freak, and must be into something your not supposed to be doing. As long as they didn't bust down your door and cuff you don't worry about it

    maybe farting, maybe taking a sip of his coffee. maybe making sure your grass was mowed. who knows what he was doing...and quite frankly, who cares.

    Walk on out and ask him, if you're curious.
