The New Dating Scene - Getting a call from the Police

What do you think of this? My wife's work friend gave a retail employee at Boathouse (clothing store) his number after a couple of visits with his daughter. He just said, "if you want to have a coffee or a drink sometime, give me a call". He is 40 and he figured this employee was in her late 20's due to her looks and the fact that she was working a lunch shift (not in high school or anything).

Later that evening, he got a call from the police telling him that he made her feel uncomfortable and try to stay away from her going forward.

I was in my 40s when I began dating my current gf, who was in her 20s. It's nobody's business.

People need to calm down. I can't believe the cops have time for that sort of thing, unless there's something about the story we don't know

@uncalled4 Nope, unless he lied, which I really don't believe he did, it went like that.

@JimboSaturn That story really stretches credibility. Based on one interaction, she calls the police, who agree to phone him and tell him to stay away. It's really not easy to believe. Either way, he dodged a bullet.

@uncalled4 Maybe. Apparently this happens all the time according to his brother in law.

@JimboSaturn ALL the time? To him? Maybe he has to slow his roll a bit? I don't know, this sounds strange. Is he coming off like Hannibal Lecter? Apart from that, this doesn't make sense.

@uncalled4 No his brother in law is a cop and he says he has to make these calls for people often. He asked his brother in law if this was normal to get a call from the cops for warn people to stay away from people.

@JimboSaturn That's not my world, so I can't say for sure, but in theory they could be on the phone forever for an infinite number of non legal matters. Are the courts not issuing restraining orders? I just find this baffling. If not, I could see this being a reality series.
