Cheating death and fighting communism: that is how a fellow officer once described our job. It was meant to be funny, but as time went on it seemed all too true.
I spent more than ten years in law enforcement, all of it on the street in uniform patrol. I've been a patrol officer, instructor, sergeant and lieutenant.
Do not report crimes here. Nothing here should be considered legal advice. All opinions are my own.
You should contact an attorney.

There is no way for me to know why he has asked these things. However, these are my immediate thoughts:
1. I'd find it really odd if I had been on four dates with someone and did not know their last name.
2. It would be really odd if I had been on four dates with someone and wasn't able to figure out her race.
3. What time of day you are up has nothing to do with checking someone's background or history.
4. If you are uncomfortable with the guy, consider dumping him and moving on.

Share Answer: 
TV and the movies rarely portray law enforcement (or anything else for that matter) in a realistic manner. Even the so-called reality shows are heavily edited to present what the network wants to show you.
As for their reasoning...well it all revolves around $$$. The better the story, the more viewers they get. More viewers = more advertising dollars. Everything on TV is about making money. That is the reason why "news" programs are sensationalistic rather than objective.

Children drinking alcohol is a really bad idea. I'd suggest avoiding being where kids are drinking, and talking with your parents if you have any questions about what actions you should or should not take.
