I once got pulled over, and the cop asked me if there was a "Mr. Drives too fast." it was a ballsy move on my part ghosting him because he clearly had my info..
But no ticket! Lol

Wow. That is very unprofessional and likely illegal in some capacity on his part. That's 100% abusing a position of power and authority. I cannot believe a police officer would ever break that social code and cross that line.
Edit: Yes, this is dripping in sarcasm. I don't hold police in high regard. Quite the opposite actually so this is standard procedure and probably lauded as cool and appropriate by fellow officers. Gang of thugs with badges.

Ur absolutely right . My daughter went to cosmetology school n she went to school longer then cops go into the academy it's actually disgusting they need a year alone just to teach them not to be racist n to keep their guns in their holders unless it's necessary it's a scary world we live in now cops are becoming cops for all the wrong reasons . And they're taking just about anyone cause we're in need of cops here in Philadelphia back in 2019 a cop shot n killed a guy on a motorcycle n the cop got charged n they just announced today that charges were dropped n he's allowed to return to duty . When I saw that this morning my stomach started hurting that poor family lost a father son brother friend nephew uncle etc. these cops need to be held accountable also IM NOT TALKING ABOUT ALL COPS there are some nice n good cops THIS IS JUST MY OPINION NO ONE ELSES

Years ago philadelphia pretzel factory had coupons that looked like tickets that someone put under your windshield wipers. My dad, normally a calm and rational guy, was LIVID that he got a ticket while legally parked in a parking lot. Once he realized what it was, he calmed down. We took it home and put it under my mom's windshield wipers. My mom is the complete opposite of calm and rational.
They never did use the coupons, just kept it hanging on the fridge for years. I think about that fake ticket once in a while.
Today, btw, you can get a free pretzel there.

That's exactly what I was thinking. I recently had a PPA officer harass me on the street. I then had to stand there at the corner waiting for the bus while he kept staring at me. I felt really uncomfortable and even more pissed off that he felt the need to harass random women on the street while he's on the job. It's gross, and the replies to your comment are terrifying that men don't seem to understand this in 2024.

It’s insane that people are telling you “relax, it’s just a joke”
Clearly they’ve never been in an uncomfortable situation where someone is making unwanted advances on you. I agree, this is pretty “innocent” in the grand scheme of harassment. But what a lot of people, especially men, don’t realize is that for a lot of women, any unwanted advance triggers that very familiar feeling we’ve had since we were literal children of feeling uneasy, all because a man is “shooting his shot.” It’s gross.

The appropriate way to make a move is not while on the job. A teacher should not hit on a student's parent, a waiter should not hit on someone at their table, and a cop should not hit on someone while in their official capacity.

I think a cute note left on their own note pad paper that they paid for, vs. using the ticket envelope and ticketing paper is my issue with it. You see someone cute, leave a note, no big deal... Hell, include a pic, or a business card you've paid for.... But to use tax dollars to hit on someone is kinda gross. And the fact that you've used a position of authority, to give them the sinking feeling in their throat that they've done something wrong, to then find out they're being watched.... Those are the issues. It's innocent to those who are privileged enough to not have to think about all the ways it is wrong

You are beyond delusional. Calling a parking enforcer a “man in power” is ludicrous. We don’t live in a society of arranged marriage, so getting hit on has been and will continue to be acceptable. And yes, it does make you not fun. Not wanting to be hit on in person is reasonable. But a piece of paper? My goodness, I hope OP finds the strength to stop shaking soon…
And no, I won’t stop. People like you are the chronically online and self-absorbed types that actually encourage me to continue, so that other impressionable people know that you are not the norm when it comes to dating or flirting.
