That would involve me socializing with random strangers, cops or otherwise. I don't do that.

That's a professional encounter, not socializing.

I've shot pistol matches with ONE cop in twenty some odd years.

A virtually foolproof way to avoid confrontations is to avoid encounters. The way to avoid encounters with the police is to obey the law. It's no guarantee but it really cuts down the odds.
I advise people to obey the law and avoid people who don't, as well as the places where they congregate. You'd think cops would like that.
