Rent-a-cop

A derogatory term for security officers favored by juvenile delinquents, vagrants and imbeciles who can't distinguish between police officers and security officers.

People who use this term are ignorant, petulant, uneducated, entitlement minded, stuck-up brats. They are under the delusion that the world revolves around them and security officers are supposed to be stupid enough to deviate from or even break their protocol to accommodate their overblown, delicate egos. They'll play the victim and cry that security officers are dicks and bullies who "gave them a hard time" because they didn't bend to their will. Their poor opinion comes from a very small percentage of security officers who are actually guilty of everything they say, but ignorantly choose to judge all of us as a whole due to their pitiful inability to think critically.
Angry, stuck-up princess: "Waa! That rent-a-cop made me stop, show a form of ID, sign in the guest log and made me wait one minute to check his list to VERIFY that I was actually on it! He's supposed to be stupid and take my word for everything! Waa!
Security Officer: "Sorry" to hear you're so butthurt because I actually did my job! 😂

rent a cop

A state certified and trained person who is essentially a private police officer. Used when 24hr police coverage can not be provided. Depending on the state, a "Rent-a-Cop" has arrest powers and carries a weapon. They can easily put you in as much trouble as a "real" cop. Most are Ex-Police/Milatary. Depending on the contract, the pay is actually better than local law enforcement.
