What is your opinion of this traffic stop scenerio? (see inside)

Officer stops a car for a broken tail light violation. A citation is issued and costs the driver $132.00 in fines. Officer finds the driver attractive and leaves a note on her cars windshield, asking her for a dinner date to make up for the $132 dollar fine she paid. Driver was upset and sued the officer for invasion of her privacy. Question: what is your opion of the drivers action? Was it overkill on her part to hire an attorney and sue the officer in civil court? Were the actions of the officer out of line? In what other way could the officer(or you)have handled this situation, in order to ask the driver for a dinner date?
