Today, I was driving home from work when I was pulled over by a cop. She asked why I was being pulled over and figuring she knew I said, "For swerving because of my alcohol problem." I had a broken tail light. FML

Today, I drove to my cousin's house so he could help me fix my broken tail light. On the way there, I got pulled over for having a broken tail light. FML

Today, I got pulled over for a busted tail light. The officer gave me a warning and told me to fix it. Ten minutes later I was pulled over again for the same busted tail light by the same cop. This time he wrote me a ticket. FML

Today, I got pulled over for a broken taillight. When I rolled down the window, the cop asked me if I was smoking crack. When I told him I didn't do drugs, he didn't believe me since he could detect a foul odor coming from my car. I'd just passed gas big time. FML

Today, I bust my lip when a car bumped into mine. As I headed home, I was stopped by the police who told me my back light was out. I tried to explain, but it just came out as "fghjiljh" because of my lip. I was arrested on suspicion of drinking and driving. FML

Potholing

By limpdick9 - 19/11/2014 18:44 - United States - San Francisco

Today, a cop car was tailing me. I was scared, and trying to avoid any tickets, I drove straight through a huge pothole rather than swerving to avoid it. The cop pulled me over and insisted I was intoxicated, because, "anybody in their right mind would've dodged that pothole." FML

Today, the blinker on my car was broken so I decided to play it safe and drive a different car to work. I guess it wouldn’t have mattered which car I drove, as the cop nicely told me one of the headlights was out when he pulled me over. FML

Today, I was driving on the freeway when I saw a car in front of me swerving across 3 lanes of traffic. Thinking he might be drunk, I dialed 911 on my phone, but I dropped it. I fished under my seat to get it, swerving, and got pulled over by highway patrol and given a field sobriety test. FML

You so deserve it for driving while you KNOW you're drunk enough to swerve.

He was really drunk, but the cop pulled him over for the tail light. OP - Dude, you know you ALWAYS answer no to those questions. Antiflood can suck it.

OP thought he was being pulled over for bad driving but he was actually pulled over for having a broken tail light. YDI. If you weren't drunk, you wouldn't be volunteering damaging information. Hope you got arrested.

Better yet, beat him to it. Before he has a chance, ask him why you were pulled over.

Huge YDI for trying to think you could score with her by being honest. Yeah, women like honesty, but they usually are more concerned if a guy is retarded before anything else. That's what you get for trying to bite your ear while driving.

"Do you know why you were pulled over?" "Yes" "Well, are you going to say it?" "Do you want me to?" "Not really, that's not normal" "I don't care" "No, it's best if you don't" "No, I'm telling" "Please don't" "I will, I don't care" "No, I want to say it" And then at the same time- (You-I've-have-been-a broken-dwiving-taillight-dwunk) And a song-Naaah.

why do cops even ask you why they poles you over

Cops would not assume an "alcohol problem" before issuing a breathalyzer and other tests. This whole thing seems quite unlikely.

Maybe she didn't notice his crappy driving and pulled him over for the light. He told her about the alcohol problem. I'm guessing he was charged with a DWI.

61 shut up because there are a lot of female cops who can do the job just as well. Andrea penoyer from police women of broward could probably tackle you easily. I hope you have a run in with one soon so you can see that women can do the job just as well as men can.
