Telling her she's beautiful and asking for her phone number once is not sexual harassment. Continuing to do so after she has made it clear she isn't interested is.

However, it does look like he's either looming over her or about to put his arm around her. That's definitely not ok.

He is standing side-on to the officer, one hand presumably resting against some surface (a wall) and the other hand on his hip.

And is pretty uncomfortably close, for an initial unsolicited introduction

If you think that combination of body language and proximity is acceptable when speaking to someone for the first time you're mistaken. It comes across as Intimidating. Respect people's personal space.

there might be a case if you could convince a court that by stating "is it X if I..." you are aware that the actions could potentially construe X.

Everything can possibly be construed as X.

Technically, no. However, when an officer is at their post in uniform, interfering with their work is a punishable offence.

No, they just take their BDSM roleplay really seriously.

The last two people who said no got downvoted to the negatives so I’ll say maybe and see if I can stay at 0.

I feel like a yes also gets downvoted, so you won the game nj
