A Ticket to Love |
Wednesday, January 04 2012 |
A Chicago area woman is suing a local police officer after he used a $132 speeding ticket he issued to track her down to ask for a date, saying that the least he could do was buy her dinner for costing her so much money. Evangelina Paredes is suing Stickney (IL) cop Chris Collins, alleging he violated her privacy by searching motor vehicle records for her address and then leaving her a handwritten note on her car windshield asking for a date. “The letter caused plaintiff to suffer great fear and anxiety,” the lawsuit says. “Plaintiff could not believe that a police officer would use his access to her personal information to find her home and stalk her.” The lawsuit also names Stickney Police Chief Joseph Kretch and the village of Stickney. —Source: chicago.cbslocal.com
