I should add, I don't think she should sue him. But I certainly don't feel bad that he's being 'humiliated in public." That's what happens when you're an adult. You do something stupid, you reap the consequences.

tidetravel · January 2012

Yeah. It's called "browsing" and is completely illegal. If I used my law enforcement systems for anything other than law enforcement purposes, not only would I be fired, but I would be fined and sitting in jail.

As far as suing? I mean, he was a cop and did track her down. I don't think it's beyond the realm of possibility that she believed that he was using his power to manipulate her. I also think that getting a lawyer involved was a surefire way to ensure that disiplinary actions were taken against him, and that the case wasn't just swept under the rug.

I've met MANY douchey mcdouchersons who are very, very attractive. That had no bearing on whether or not I wanted to date them.

Also, if this does turn into full-blown stalking who's going to protect her? His cop friends?

True, and that's why I think he used bad judgement. I guess maybe it would have to happen to me, but honestly, I don't think I would be offended or creeped out. Again, it depends on his personality. If he actually WAS a total creep, I'd get freaked out. If he was just a nice guy, I'd say no and that's it. If he persisted and badgered, that's when I would contact his supervisor.

</strong>Posted by tidetravel[/QUOTE]<strong>

</strong>TBH, I didn't even think of this right away ... but now that you mention it, lawyering up was probably the smartest thing to do in this situation. When I filed the restraining order on my ex, the cop that was involved was a total ass who treated me like I was some over-dramatic teenager that was having a stupid fight with my boyfriend (In reality, my ex came to my place of work, followed me around trying to talk to me, then tried to physically make me leave with him, and when one of my co-workers intervened, he threatened to go get a gun from his truck and use it). I filed a complaint against the cop ... and nothing ever happened. I was told "He's never been a problem, so we'll make sure somebody talks to him, have a nice day".

At the time, I was just so relieved to have the restraining order in place, that I just didn't have the strength to pursue it any further. Years later, I kick myself over it, hoping that he didn't treat another person in my situation the same way

[QUOTE]From the article: Paredes claims that the note caused her to " suffer great fear and anxiety ." In the lawsuit, which seeks unspecified payments in damages, saccording to the Associated Press, she alleges that Collins used his position as a police officer to " manipulate " her into going out with him. Collins declined to comment to the Associated Press. The bolded are GROSS overreactions. The suing is more of an "abuse of power" than what the cop did. Yeah, I can see the romanticism behind it. Honestly, he would have been better of trying to "accidentally" bump into her at a bar or something and been like "oh yeah hey!" In the end, I don't think his intentions were bad and he certainly wan'st manipulating her. Manipulating would have been if he tried it BEFORE giving her the ticket and then not giving it to her if she said yes. It still was a misuse of the information at hand, which he should have gotten in trouble for. But suing is way over the top IMO.
Posted by chelseamb11[/QUOTE]

I could not possibly disagree with you more. Who are you to say her feelings are a gross overreaction? I'd feel fear and anxiety if I was stalked by a cop too. Which is pretty much what happened.

And her suing him, while frivolous, is her right. It is NOT his right to the info that his job gives him privilege to to find out her personal information, therefore that is an abuse of power, and i'm rolling my eyes HARD at you calling her suing "more of an abuse of power than what the cop did" because that's ridiculous.

He didn't "use bad judgement." Pretty much the VERY FIRST THING you learn as a law enforcement officer is NOT TO USE LEO systems for personal gain.

Also, did you actually read the article? This quote leads me to believe he probably said something at the time of the traffic stop and she refused his advances, which makes me think she actually does have a case to sue him for harassment:

<em>I know this may seem crazy <strong>and you're probably right</strong>, but truth is I have not stopped thinking about you since
</em>
Bottom line: LEOs are held to a higher standard that everyone else. They are granted "public trust" and that trust is only honored by maintaining a higher standard of professionalism and integrity. What he did was not only illegal; it tarnishes the reputation of LEOs everywhere.

I agree.

While it may seem like an overreaction to sue, it makes sense to speak to a lawyer so you know there is someone on your side.

He abused his power and it is much scarier when it's a police officer than, say, an emt or a vampire posing as a high school student. When a student or an emt acts innapropriately, you go to the police... but when it's the cop who is supposed to be protecting you? That's some scary shiiit right there.

ZombieNates · January 2012

I didn't even consider that aspect of it, Tide, but that makes sense. Shiit like this has a habit of getting swept under the rug. I just took it as being sue-happy, but this is something I'd keep in mind if I ever were in a situation like that. I can't stand how stuff gets sideswept in the "old boys' club" attitude of certain people in power.

Either way, I still seriously can't believe some of you find it possibly romantic. It is way scary to me.

The creepiest part about the whole thing was his note.

"It's Chris … that ugly bald Stickney cop who gave you that ticket. … I know this may seem crazy and you're probably right, but truth is I have not stopped thinking about you since. I don't expect a girl as attractive as you to … even go for a guy like me, but I'm taking a shot anyways."

"I did cost you $132 - least I can do is buy you dinner," the note reportedly read.

He screams low self esteem, I live in my moms basement, greasy, chatting up internet babes, never grew up from the 6th grade creepster. Maybe she wouldn't have been so freaked out if he had someone to tell him to tone down the weirdo factor?

[QUOTE]I'd totally sue. Because I want a new computer and I don't want to pay for it myself. But really, this is pretty sneaky. <strong> He'd have been better off just straight up asking for a date and giving her a warning, or something</strong>. Idk.

No, because that could have been taken as a <em>quid pro quo</em>.

I'm not even going to touch the whole "he'd have been better off stalking her from her home to a bar and asking her out there!" suggestion, because, seriously.

Yes a lawsuit is excessive, but on the other hand it is quite clear an officer is not allowed to use the system to track down anyone unless it is work related, it a violation of their code of ethics, not to mention a bit too creepy for me. Its one thing to ask the person for a date but its quite another to track the person down and ask her for a date. I hope the guy learns his lesson that he's not above the law, I hope the lawsuit is dismissed and the guy receives time off without pay or something like that.

Cop sued for asking driver for date after ticketing her.
