We have lived here for the last 10 years. We always pay our water bill. Occasionally, we’ll forget and receive a final notice for our water bill which we will promptly pay.

Tonight at 8 pm, a city police officer banged on our door with a blinding flashlight in hand. Made me verify my identification and then handed me my water bill (the due date being a week from now)

What the hell!

    You sure the cop was real? Almost sounds like a scam where a fake cop intimidates you in paying a fake bill

      My first thought too lol

      But if it is a scam the dude put a ton of effort into it with a complete uniform and a cruiser with the correct city livery and accessories just to hand me a complete and correct water bill that matches their weird card stock they use

      It would be a pretty impressive scam for a town with a population of less than 4,000
