Ya know, it's SO hard to find new and interesting ways to show your love these days.

There you are, hanging with the woman you love, in the parking lot of a Motel 6, when you decide to show your love.. by releasing some balloons in the air for her.

Heart-Shaped balloons.  Cuz... that's LUV right there.

So as you release your balloons, a cop drives by, and gives you a ticket!

Anthony Brasfield released the balloons as part of a romantic gesture for his girlfriend, but when a patrol officer saw them, he charged him under the Florida Air and Water Pollution Control Act, which includes protection for endangered species.

The trooper, according to the video, says he arrested him because there are several endangered species in the area, and noted that balloons can travel up to 1,000 miles.

Brasfield could face a five-year sentence.

But what's 5 years, really, in the name of Love?

She'll wait for him... right?
