[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry all you hysterical "couch cops".  I'm an attorney with the city and [b]any police officer can approach you at any time and say, "I'm Officer Smith and I'd like to speak to you privately".  You don't have to go, you don't have to talk - but there is nothing at all wrong with doing what the OP suggested.  Her husband's occupation only gave the biological father a plausible lie as to who the man was and what he wanted if his co-workers asked later.[/b]

Further, my little hysterics, anyone at any time can approach you and say something like, "I'm Dr. Smith from General Hospital and I'd like to speak to you privately" or "I'm Principal Skinner from City High School and I'd like to talk to you privately".

So calm down, ladies! [b]The OP was right and her husband would not be doing anything illegal or unethical. [/b]    [/quote]

Disagree.   The OP was proposing something unethical, that her detective husband represent himself as a on-duty LEO for personal reasons.  Sorry, but this is quite different from your attorney-centric explanation.

Agree.
I just called my brother about this. He's a police officer. He said that OP's DH can't say [b]"I'm here to ask you about a hit and run." [/b]if he's really there to ask about his wife's paternity. [/quote]

That is not what OP proposed.  Call you brother back and ask him if an LEO can say "I'm Officer Smith and I'd like to speak to you privately" since that is precisely what OP proposed and then get back to us.

Read more carefully.  The OP only suggested that her father could say that the police officer was there to talk about a hit and run or some other traffic incident as a cover FOR THE FATHER rather than have the father put in a position where he had to say that the visitor was the husband of his secret daughter.
