Starscream, I can't even begin to pick apart all of the things wrong with that line of thinking, but I certainly will try.

First of all, an elected leader fraternizing with an officer of the law is not only scandalous, but invites corruption in a government administration.

Secondly, from the perspective of an officer of the law, fraternizing with someone of political power could be seen as ways of granting favors. And I am not in the market for favors!
