Law Enforcement & Police: Is this allowed or illegal?

I work in a restaurant. A customer called in to cancel an order he made. The food already was almost done. We normally give away, or eat "dead food". An officer was ordering and I though we should give the order to him if he was going back to the station. I know a bribe is money, or anything valued over $20. Is it illegal to give this to him, or legal, but in a legal grey zone which may appear immoral?

1. You should have asked the cop if it was appropriate to give him the food since it was going to be thrown out. If he couldn't accept the food then you would know what to do next time.
2. That is not illegal, It is probably questionable ethics, based on department policy. If you had made the offer in light of throwing it away, it would have been acceptable based on the fact it is your practice to give it away. However, he made the offer, which is questionable ethics.
3. too bad you can donate it to a shelter.
4. NO HE NEVER SAID HE MADE THE OFFER .
5. I totally agree with Trooper3!!!
6. taking something as a gift is okay, as long as the both parties know that gift will not keep the officer from doing his job. I personally only take free soda/coffe from the gas station. and mcdonalds gives us a free meal (i never use it).
