Brickbat: I Got a Line on You

Rossford, Ohio, police officer Glenn Goss Jr. has resigned after the Ohio State Highway Patrol began an investigation into whether he used a police database to identify and contact a woman through social media. Emily Hackler said she noticed a black truck following her on her way home from the gym. A few hours later, she received a message on Facebook from Goss saying, "Had fun racing you on Crossroads and 795 earlier." When she asked who he was, Goss sent a picture of himself in his police uniform. He said he found out who she was when he got to work by her "Plate #."

Just further proof why it will be OK to give cops the secret back door to everyone's data
There's Officer Friendly and then there's Officer Creepy McStalker. This is Officer Creepy McStalker.

Yet.
It could be worse. I've heard of cops looking for dates in their database of criminals.
Those aren't dates; those are BJs.
That way the cop doesn't have to pay for a mistress; he puts them on the confidential informant payroll.

The question we all really want to know: Did she go out with him?
I'm sure that was his fantasy; however, given that we are reading about it she either 1] immediately filed a complaint or 2] did go out with him and learned what we already know; the guy's a jerk. Then she filed a complaint.
I wonder what she looks like. 🙂
the guy’s a jerk
And gobsmacking stupid.
One has to wonder if this has ever actually worked for him.
