A routine traffic stop turned into something neither person saw coming... but should a police officer ever shoot their shot after pulling someone over?
In this edition of Dirty Little Secret, a female police officer reveals how a late-night traffic stop led to an unexpected romance. After pulling over a driver for a broken brake light and noticing he was a little too handsome to forget, she couldn't stop thinking about him. When she learned where he worked, she took a chance, showed up at the bar on her night off, and introduced herself outside of her badge and uniform. What started as a warning instead of a ticket eventually turned into a relationship that's still going strong nearly two years later

Speaker 3 (00:14):
Let's go. What's up?
Speaker 4 (00:16):
Yeah, so I don't tell many people because I can't
tell many people because it's a little unethical. Oh. Oh.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Oh, she's a big word. Yeah, unethical. Now I'm very interested.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Right?
Speaker 4 (00:29):
Okay, so before I, like, officially met my current boyfriend,
I pulled him over and then I tracked him down
at work.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
What? Wait. Hold on. What? What do you mean you
pulled him over? You pulled him over?

looking good. So you pulled. Okay, tell me the story.
Now I got to know.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Okay. So first of all, I didn't very clear. I
don't work in the county that I pulled him over.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
I worked for a different city when this happened. And
I saw this car swerving a little bit and it
had a brake layout. And I was like, you know,
it was late at night, like two 30 or three
in the morning. And I was like, okay, like there's
a good chance that this person has been drinking.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
So I'm just going to pull them over.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Good police work right there. Obviously.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
Right.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. And, like, it was seriously,
it was, like, a pretty routine stop. Like, they pulled
up right away. I walked up. His window was down.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
And, like, when I looked, like, seriously, like, I'm looking down, like,
preparing for this.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
And when I looked up, I was like, holy, this
guy is so hot.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Really?
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Good. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
So police officers, they notice that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
I mean, of course they do, but like that was,
you weren't like, Hey, I gotta make sure he has
no weapons.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
Who's in the car. You were like, damn, he's hot.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Well, like, well, that was almost going through my mind
when I was walking up, you know what I mean?
Like I'm preparing myself. Cause you like, you never know,
you never know.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
But then like, as soon as I like made eye
contact with this guy, I was like, why, what am
I here for again?
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Like, this is crazy. Like this guy is so beautiful.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
Um, i'm still trying to be professional you know i
mean like i i still i'm not sure like is
this guy a drunk driver not like what's going on
but in my head i'm thinking who is this guy
like oh my god like i want to know who
this guy is um this is interesting to me it
is i always wonder about cops what they're thinking yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Like you're working but at the same time you're human yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
What have they seen on their computer right exactly.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
And like what is a girl to do what is
a girl to do.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
So, okay, so you're sitting there, you're trying to have
a conversation, assess the scene, investigate, do your stop.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
You know, she's a police officer, so what happens?
Speaker 4 (02:43):
All right, so... He talks to me. He's not slurring
his words at all. It's pretty obvious that he's not intoxicated.
I asked him why he was swerving. He told me
that he dropped his phone, and that's why he swerved.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
You know what? That made sense to me.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
But there was this drunk AF girl in the passenger
seat with him, completely wasted. Oh, God.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
She was so annoying.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
I had to tell her multiple times to stop interrupting us.
I almost wanted to arrest her. But he explained that
he works at the bar right down the street.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
And he had just finished his shift. And he was
just giving her a ride home. And that was like,
so sweet. So I'm like, Oh my God, he's hot.
And he's sweet. That's crazy.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Um, wow.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
So I let him go with a warning. Like I
didn't even give him a ticket.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
Like I just, you know, I gave him a warning
about his brake lights. I told him to get it
fixed ASAP. And then I just let him on his way.
But like, I could not.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Stop thinking about him and I knew, and I, okay. So,
so I know what car he drives. Right. Um, I
know where he works because he told me. So I'm
like driving.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
That's the route I go when I'm like going to
and from like where I actually patrol. And so I
would like look for his car. So then I found
the bar he worked at. And Saturday night I had off.
So I was like, you know what? I'm going to
go shoot my shot.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Oh, really?
Speaker 4 (04:03):
Wow. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Well, you know, I feel like life's too short, right?
You know what I'm saying? It is.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Good for you. I'm not mad at it.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
Well, I dressed to the nines because I know how
hot he is. So I was like, he needs to
know that I am also on his level.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
You know what I mean? Wow.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Wow. The confidence is, I like it.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Well, the cop uniform doesn't exactly show.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
All your curves.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
Oh, yeah, it does.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
It's pretty hot, though. A cop uniform on a female,
a hot patrol officer? Yeah, I didn't see. Oh, yes. Okay, boo,
calm down. Geez, he's getting too worked up over here.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
But then the crazy thing was he immediately recognized me.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Oh, he did?
Speaker 3 (04:40):
So you walk in, he's like, oh, hey, you're the
cop that pulled me over the other night. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
And he was like, thanks for the warning.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Oh, good.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
But yeah, so like we really hit it off and
I got his number and like we're still dating and
it's been almost two years. But the crazy thing is,
is like he still doesn't know like how planned me
going into that bar actually was.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Oh, no way.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
That's awesome.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Wow. Well, good for you two then.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
So he has no idea that you strategically went in
there dressed all hot with a plan.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Right. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
No, he thought I was meeting friends. That's what I
told him. But like that, that was never.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Going to happen.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Good for you don't need to know all that no
well you know what what a sweet story i'm glad
you two have been together for almost two years at
this point he wouldn't care oh he'd laugh at it
that's a great story it'd be a fun story for
him to tell his friends so i think you should
tell him one.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Day yeah it's not weird at all maybe i will.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Good for you well thank you so much for calling
and um Yeah, have a great day, and I appreciate
that confession.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Thanks, guys. Have a good one.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
You too. What a sweet secret.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
I think so.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Although, I will say, though, if this happened the opposite
way around, like there's a man cop and pulled over
a hot girl, we would not be having the same reaction.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
No, maybe not.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
One, and two, why can't I get pulled over by
a hot cop? You can.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Just race everywhere.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Where? Just go break the.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Law and see what happens.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Then I get pulled over by a big, burly dude.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Yeah. That Carrollton Coppin shorts and big man thighs. Why
did I have to get that vision in my head?
Thanks a lot, Dan.
