Tale as old as time. Over twenty years ago police NCIC security and integrity training courses contained a cautionary tale about a sheriff’s deputy who tried to hit on a woman coming out of the courthouse, she brushed him off so he watched her get into her car and drive away, and he ran her license plate to find out where she lived. He went to her house and tried flirting again. Turned out she was an assistant DA and she nailed his ass to the wall for it. He lost his job and went to jail.
