MIAMI BEACH, FL — It was just another day on the job for Miami Beach's finest until officers pulled over the white car with love in the trunk earlier this week.
Officer Otto Lopez can be seen on video asking the woman behind the wheel to open the trunk Monday night near tourist-favorite Lincoln Road and Euclid Avenue.
As the woman complied, the trunk lid opened to reveal a colorful bunch of balloons. The woman's boyfriend dropped to one knee and proposed on the spot.
