TL;DR - Something happened on a date that neither of us really planned for, I didn't think it was the biggest issue at the time but she didn't react well to the circumstances and now I feel like she's "lost respect" for me and I want to regain it.

Alright so I've been dating a girl that I've been friends with for a while and things up until very recently have been going stellar in the relationship. Doing stuff together, very physical, texting often, etc etc. I used to be friends with her before TRP'ing myself so to speak, going to the gym, plating, etc etc and that seemed to work to get us together. On our most recent date though, towards the end we got stopped by cops and she didn't take it that well seeing as she's very skittish about most things. I knew the cop beforehand on a semi-personal level (helped him get with his current girlfriend).

I tried to get her to calm down during the whole thing, which didn't really work, and as for my reaction during it (the cop did it by the books and left us off with a warning) I didn't really have much of one, mainly because it was something that was just going to pass and there wasn't much either of us could realistically do about it.

Ever since then (about a week), she's been really flaky on things between us and the texts have stopped a lot, and I think this is probably because I fucked up with my frame/how I handled that situation. Whats a good way of getting that original spark back, so to speak, or getting her respect back? I have other options, definitely, but I want to try to salvage this as much as I can.
