I'd call that sexual harassment - LEO coming on to someone in a subordinate position. He'll catch some h*** I think if you report him. Would I? Yup, because that's not the kind of cops we need.0

Life must be tramendously hard for a person who chooses to care about such things. Crumple the paper up and throw it away.
He has your plate number, if he really cared more than leaving the ball in your court, he can find you.0 -
Not to make light of the situation, but you just got a small taste of what it's like to be a woman...it's still not okay for anyone to abuse a position of power though...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.
Then by all means, please explain what you are so worked up about if that's not it.
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???
He gave you his number and that's violating your privacy? How does that work?
Would you be asking about a waitress or female officer who did the same thing? Just asking again since those questions were asked and I didn't see the answer

Do most police officers in America abuse their powers like that? I swear whenever I hear about American police officers, it's never good. That said, I'd be so curious to call the number and call him out on what he did. It's not like he can take it to the police. I'd do it just to scare him a little. Karma is a *kitten*.0

A waitress does not have the power to take away your freedom. This is not a gender issue.

ugh
perfect username for this post.0 -
Hmm, I'd say let it go since he didn't say "Ok, if I don't give you a ticket you have to call me". Keep it though in case he uses your personal information, that way you have evidence. Really, it was pretty unprofessional but I don't think it was malicious or lascivious. Just take it as a compliment and move on with your life. 0

im with you man
I'm with you guys. It would be a totally different conversation if you were a woman and a male cop did that. They take an oath and are not supposed to abuse their power. This is a fairly minor offense, although I understand you're concerns, but police shouldn't take any form of bribe or use their power to intimidate in any way. At least all he did was hand you the note, but it's wrong to have a cop out there using his power to get dates. I probably wouldn't report it. It feels minor enough, however, it's not for any of us to judge. If you feel wronged enough, report it. Let the department determine what to do about it. It's the department's job to balance the punishment with the offense. I'm sure they won't ruin his life over it.0 -

I'm still not confident the OP was completely serious with his post (sorry, OP!) but, if it *is* I completely agree with the above. Give the guy the benefit of the doubt until he actually does something to violate your privacy.0 -

Basically you'd be afraid a female cop would imprison you if she gave you her number?0 -
Probably a dumb question but... if I were to report him do I call 911?

Unless he stops you again, I'd ignore it and move on. Remember that he let you off. I'm glad you didn't come back with a smart remark like some have suggested. All that would have done is gotten you the ticket for sure.0

He walks up to my window and says, "Good morning." I'm all nervous and say, "Hey whuh... wuz up?"
He says to me, "Late for work?" I laugh and say, "Yeah."
He goes on to tell me that I should leave earlier next time and speeding is not worth it. Then he tells me to wait.
He goes back to his motorcycle and I can see him scribbling something down. He returns to my car and hands me the paper and says, "Alright buddy, have a good one."
I waited for him to leave before checking the piece of paper which I'm thinking is a speeding ticket.
It turns out the paper has his phone number on it!
Should I report this incident or let it go? I'm still shaking as I type this.
Not buying this for a second.1 -

Me either,
Just get over it !
And I dont understand this abuse of power BS.
He gave him his phone # supposedly.
Cop didn't slobber on him,didn't touch him,didn't say call me or I will write you up or arrest you.
He didn't threaten him or any other things that could be considered abuse of power.
Abuse of power WTF ?0 -
if I were you, just be grateful that he didn't give you a ticket because you were speeding. Whether you are gay or straight or he is gay or straight is irrelevant here.. if you were to report him, he could have easily said that he was giving you his number to talk to you about the dangers of speeding...
leave it alone.. enjoy your day ... there is nothing to sweat about here.. I would be shaking more with a ticket.. this guy isn't going to bother you... relax0
