A woman is able to get off an impaired driving arrest and a drug possession charge all because she's an ADA and her dad is a cop.

Which is to he treats her as an equal with great effort and occasional reluctance.

I never likely the idea of Oliver and Felicity for exactly that reason, there's too big a power discrepancy. Even when Oliver listens to Felicity he's deferring authority and sounds patronizing instead of treating her as an equal, it just wouldn't be healthy.
