If an off duty grammar cop flirts with a woman, and later when on duty cites her for a suspected infraction, is that ethics, or is it wrong?

    By the way sweet Randy D. I have a bone to pick with you.  I have used the phrase "running amok" when referring to your dear tildes.  However much to my embarrassment I spelled it amuck many times and was never corrected.  Where is the grammar police when you really need them, tell me that.  :  )

     I’m in very high demand, so you really have to claw your way to the top of the heap to catch my attention. Survival of the flirtiest, you see.

    Both spellings are correct, it's just that amok is more commonly used.

      Tread carefully make sure you don’t muddy the lines between on duty and off duty activities, mon frère. That partnership jazz doesn’t automatically grant privileges across the board. (Grrrrrrr.)

    But citizens need to be made aware of all personnel available for spelling correction and other duties.

      I’m the lead officer on this particular case, so your interference is both unwarranted and unwanted.

      

     I’ll inform her personally of the ins and outs of the law.

    What warrant?

      She has already given her consent for me to enter, so please just run along and peddle your papers somewhere else.  This will take a while, be a mensch and let the Watch Commander know I won’t be back to the precinct house until next shift. (Cough, cough.)

    When has Randy ever bothered with getting warrants for grammar-related (and grammar-unrelated) searches?

      Exigent circumstances require immediate action on the part of the responding officer. In the interest of officer safety, I have to know what she has on her person, and ensure there’s nothing that might hurt me. It’s all perfectly legal and legitimate.



      (Please stop wiggling so much, Miss. I can’t get an accurate read on all the good parts when you do that.)

    What kind of grammar cop flirts with a woman like that? Highly suspicious.

      I was er, um, I meant to say he was off duty when he flirted with her, then later when he was on duty, he issued her the citation, so technically, he wasn’t in his official capacity when he flirted.

    The thing that makes it all worse is when the off-duty grammar cop fails to hyphenate an adjective that contains two or more words when he’s asking if he’s doing something wrong.  It’s even more wrong when his partner fails to cite him for the mistake.

    This type of malfeasance calls for defunding the grammar police department.

      Oh, you’re one of those. Par for the course, though, that a known criminal (queenpin) advocates less enforcement of laws. Grrrrrrr.

      Jane S has long campaigned against rampant use of hyphens. I’m weak when it comes to the power she has over me.
