Woman Uses 'Because I'm Pretty' Sign To Deter Police Stops

A woman is using a sign written on the back window of her car to stop what she said are unwarranted traffic stops made because she is attractive.

KIRO 7 reporter Deborah Horne was eating dinner with her photographer in Bellevue last night when she saw the message, "Attention police, do not pull me over just because I'm pretty" on a car parked near Bellevue Square.

Horne approached the woman, who asked to be identified only as Dasha. She said police have stopped her more than 30 times in Bellevue, Kirkland and Seattle and she has received only two citations, both of which were dismissed.

Dasha said the message was her friends' idea. Dasha said after the sign was put on her window a month ago, she has not been stopped by officers.

Dasha said now, officers just read the message and smile.
