Woman Says Cop Had a Lot of Nerve


CHICAGO (CN) - A traffic stop became a search for love in the wrong place when a city cop searched motor vehicle records to find a woman's home address and left her a note asking her out on a date, the woman claims in Federal Court.

Evangelina Paredes sued Stickney police Officer Christopher Collins, Police Chief Joseph Kretch and the Village of Stickney, a southwest suburb of Chicago, just southwest of Cicero.
Paredes say Collins pulled her over for speeding on Oct. 22, 2011, issued her a ticket and she continued on her way to work.

Two days later, Paredes says, she found an envelope fixed to the windshield of her car. The complaint states: "Inside the envelope was a handwritten letter to the plaintiff asking her on a date:

'Hello,
'It's Chris I'm that ugly bald Stickney cop who gave you that ticket on Saturday. 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 be single, or even go for a guy like me but I'm taking a shot anyways.

5. The guy said: "But for some reason, her irritation never turned to affection."

That was quite a story!

In the 50s or 60s that would've been a Doris Day, Rock Hudson & Tony Randall movie.

2. I've had a cop call and ask me out after a traffic stop before. I was in high school.

I was still cursing him out when my mother removed the phone from my hand.

3. That's so creepy, especially the "couldn't stop thinking about you" part.

Going out with that cop = a great way to be controlled, and then stalked and murdered when you break up with him.

6. It amazes me when things like this happen.

Most departments have specific rules about looking up someones information for personal use. He is a goner. Most departments have a specific procedure regarding harassment of any kind even if someone sees another person being harassed. The department HAS to initiate an investigation. Its all based on federal law. This guy is toast.
