Assume you have just graduated from the Academy and you are assigned to a two-person patrol unit with a veteran police officer. The two of you take a lunch break at a local restaurant. When you ask for your check, the veteran asks, "Why are you doing that? The food is free to us. That is why we stopped at this place."

• What actions would you take and why?
• Discuss the ethics of "grass eaters," as defined in the Knapp Commission.
• Discuss the potential consequences of rebuking or reporting the veteran officer.
