Good thing he doesn't know where you work. Might also steal your lunch. (Had to. Previous thread tie in joke).0

Whoa.
I gave the officer my ID. He knows my name and address. He then hands me a paper with a phone number on it. I just feel paranoid about it, that's all. When someone exhibits strange behavior AND they have your personal info.... doesn't matter if it was a smurf, that makes me feel uneasy.
Any cop that ever pulls you over any time would have that same info. Why does him giving you his number make you feel like that elevates his...threat level?
If he was giving off some bad/uncomfortable vibes beyond that however, I could understand your paranoia.Rage_Phish wrote: »hopefully someone who has been through more traumatic events than you and more uncomfortable experiences than you don't simply discount yours cause they don't register high enough on their radar
Asking for more details about his strong reaction is not discounting it, and neither is me explaining my point of view on these kinds of situations. You've been making a mountain out of a molehill.0 -
Noooo...don't post his number!!! lol We sometimes forget cops are people just like us. If you're not interested let it pass. Definitely a funny story thou.0

You're shaking because some guy gave you his phone number? I'm not entirely convinced that this story is even true, but you've got some issues if this is all it takes to freak you out. Chill, dude.0

Call him and start up the Village People anew.0

I'm curious why OP had such a strong reaction to this? Why are you "still shaking"? I'm sorry but it sounds like you just can't stand the idea of a gay man giving you his number.
Wow. Didn't see this comment. I think that is ridiculous!
I'm actually kind of offended to be honest because my sexuality has not been disclosed, nor do I feel it's relevant to this incident. But you immediately jumped to the conclusion that I'm a caveman who is being homophobic. That was uncool. Please have an open mind in the future as too many atrocities have occurred due to false assumptions.

Unless the waitress is legally empowered to shoot and/or detain you, this isn't a good analogy.0 -

It wasn't meant to be an equal analogy. But, thanks for noticing.

lol. is this a real post?
just what i want! police pulling people over just to hit on them
re[port him, hopefully they take his badge and fire him
wow you're pretty unforgiving, hate cops much? I don't think he should be fired for this, reprimanded maybe but fired definitely not, I think your panties are a little too twisted up over this. God it blows my mind how SOME people are ready to ruin someones life over stupid crap like this... Hope you never do something small and harmless and then get fired by someone like yourself......wait I hope you do0 -
lol. nice melt0

Then by all means, please explain what you are so worked up about if that's not it.0 -

I understand why you'd be uncomfortable with this situation. Like you said, he's got all your info, could easily find out much more about you. Authority makes me crazy nervous. He likely broke a rule giving you his number, but I'd let it go if that's all he did.0

Already did, homeslice.
Don't like my privacy violated if it's not in accordance with someone's job duties. A member of law enforcement isn't just "some guy" either.
Can you dig it???

would hate to see what happens when this officers inappropriate behavior goes unchecked, and begins to escalate0
-
I would document the incident and exact word exchange and keep the slip of paper, put it all away in a file. If you find several months has passed and nothing else happened, then it is forgotten. If something comes of it, say unexplained police harassment, etc., then you have your proof and your documentation.
I probably wouldn't report it. Only if, like I said, something came of it on his side.
(Make sure you have his name and possibly his badge # too.)0 -
It is different than a waiter, or clerk, or accountant or lots of other people-at-work hitting on you, because he is in a position of power. I would not report him, but I would keep the piece of paper and a note documenting the incident (plus you have posted here.) If he makes contact with you or pulls you over again, then file a report. Otherwise I would accept it as the compliment it is and thank the appropriate being for whatever feature atttracted him and got me out of a ticket.
Plus other dear readers - we don't know what kind of vibe the OP has. Maybe he is interested in other gentlemen, just not this one.0 -

Exactly! It's like none of these people watch Criminal Minds.

Then how was it meant? If not an analogy then what?
I would not be tempted to report a waitress who did the same thing because she probably isn't carrying a gun and handcuffs and a taser. Even if she was, she isn't legally allowed to kill me and keep her job. If a female police officer did the same thing, I would be very tempted to report her because it would be an abuse of her legal authority, and as citizens in a democracy we all deserve not to be harassed by civil servants.
Surely you can agree with that?0 -
I would just let it go. Reporting it will only cause unnecessary drama. If you just ignore it, he'll forget about it and move on. Unless he ends up stalking you that is....0
