Overreach

Today, at a red light, an old lady crossing the street fell right in front of my car. I got out of my car to help her. The light turned green and I was still helping the woman to her feet. An officer came by and ticketed me for "impeding the flow of traffic." FML

Do they have tickets for everything in America?

I don't buy this one, as the old woman would clearly still be there as well.

Unfortunately in the shit country of America I live in, yes. That's why I no longer support this country.

You're free to leave this 'shit' country anytime

Yes. And the police can also brutally beat the piss out of/ murder people and their department keeps it under wraps so they don't get fired. All the tickets are just for revenue. Instead of enforcing real law

If real, contest it. Realistically, the flow of traffic would have been impeded either way.

I believe it. This is a very similar story to the one sited above, but even more extreme. Check this out... http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/odd_good_samaritan_ticketed;_ylt=AhBddwhb8rVaqed2qLJ8l9HZn414

FAKE. Why are people making stuff up? These used to be funnier. :/

The officer is just doing his job but it was definitely a dick move. Maybe he's just trying to fill his quota.
