Show Cops Your Tits To Avoid Traffic Tickets

We've heard plenty of stories about women gettin' their cry on to get out of speeding tickets, but apparently one Chicago cop wouldn't let you off without some T&A to go with those tears.

Chicago Police officer Mike Allegretti allegedly made two traffic stops, one in November 2004 and one in May 2005, during which he told the women he'd pulled over that he wouldn't write them a ticket if they showed him their breasts.

In the November 2004 stop, Allegretti pulled a woman over because she ran a red light. She didn't have a driver's license or proof of insurance and admitted that she was an illegal alien. Allegretti allegedly told her to flash him. She refused to bare her breasts and Allegretti arrested her. Allegretti allegedly told her again at the police station that he wouldn't write her a ticket if she would flash him. She refused again and Allegretti then told her to meet him at the traffic stop site the next day where she would dance for him sans undergarments.

During the May traffic stop, the woman Allegretti pulled over complied. But then Allegretti allegedly wanted to see more asking her to unzip her pants and caress herself. He then allegedly asked her to follow him into an alley. She followed him into the alley, but told him to just give her a ticket.

Allegretti's attorney maintains that the allegations are false.

On Friday a judge set Allegretti's bail at $100,000.
