Today, I was getting a ticket for speeding, but the officer messed up and gave me the wrong ticket the fine was more than speeding, when I told him we ended up in a cuss war and when I went to my boyfriends parents that night I realized the officer was my boyfriends dad, it was awkward at dinner FML

You don't argue with the police officer, no matter if their wrong. You take that ticket - that proof of discretion - to a damned court and you dispute it like its nobodies business. You're lucky you didn't leave with two more tickets for disorderly conduct and whatever else the cop could've come up with. Also, how did you not recognize your SO's own father?

First of all, it's *they're. Second of all, it was probably her first time meeting her boyfriend's dad. But I do agree that you shouldn't ever have a "cuss war" with a cop, much less argue up to that point.

If you'd just accepted the ticket, you could've taken it to traffic court and disputed it. They either would've lowered the fine or thrown out the ticket.
