[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Imagine if a cop said to a young woman, "I need to speak with you in connection to an accident." and then asked for her phone number.

I can guarantee he is going to face unpleasant professional consequences.[/quote]

That is not what OP proposed.  If the Police Officer said, in your example, "I'm Officer Smith and I'd like to speak to you privately" and then asked her out when they were alone - there would be nothing illegal or unethical about it.  And that is what OP proposed.  That her husband identify himself and ask to speak to the father alone.

You cannot guarantee he will face unpleasant professional consequences because he wouldn't.  This I know for a fact.

It's actually not a horrible idea in the given circumstance.     [/quote]

She stated under the guise of police business (she said maybe a witness to a hit and run).  There is a big difference between "hi mr. Smith, I'm Detective JOhnson may I speak with you privately?  Yes ok, great.  My wife is Larla johnson and ...." And what OP proposed which is.  "Hi mr smith.  I'm detective johnson and I need to speak with you about a hit and run you may have witnessed.  Actually there was no hit and run..."   [/quote]

Read all of OPs posts - that is not at all what she wrote.  [/quote]
