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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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 was driving home. I desperately needed the bathroom, so I was speeding a little bit. A cop pulled me over and gave me hell. He said he'd heard my story a hundred times and didn't believe me. I couldn't hold it and ended up marinating in my own piss while he ran my plates. FML
Today, I crashed into a pole on purpose as a cop pulled me over for speeding. I figured the officer would feel bad for me and that the cost of fixing my car would be less than a ticket. He gave me one anyway. 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
Today, while I was driving, a police officer jumped out from the sidewalk and into my lane. I slammed on the brakes so I wouldn't hit him. He then gave me a ticket for "obstructing traffic." FML
Today, a policeman pulled me over and proceeded to flirt with me. After I had rejected him, he gave me a ticket for "not paying attention to the road". FML
Today, I was pulled over for a DWI. The police officer was drunk. FML
Today, while driving home I had to pee really bad, so I speeded up to get home quicker. I got pulled over for speeding and peed my pants. The cop, assuming I was drunk, made me take a sobriety test. I had to walk a straight line with piss all over my pants at 2:00 in the afternoon. FML
Today, I held my bag of burger and fries out the window while driving, to preserve that new car smell. Not only did I hit a pothole and lose my lunch, I got pulled over by a cop who suspected I was either littering or tossing drugs when I saw him. FML
Today, I was driving a little over the speed limit, when I saw a cop car waiting to join the road ahead of me. I quickly hit the brakes so they wouldn't have a payday with me. I hit the brakes too hard, lost control and almost ended up on someone's lawn. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Just act like a normal person when cops are tailing you, you'll look less suspicious. You think they don't know you're going five miles under the speed limit because they're behind you?

Well after the tests saying you were sober you have no ticket unless he slams you with a reckless driving ticket just for the fun of it

Have had numerous bad experiences with the cops like this. Some of them are just bullies! Have had cops tailgate me to the point I got scared about to speed up (I was a fairly new driver when this happened) and the cop blew past me as soon as he got the chance. I've had a cop pull me over and interrogate me for no reason other than that my tire touched the white line. Not to mention profiling me and my boyfriend just because he was a young cop on a power trip.

Let them run up your ass. In every situation the person doing the hitting is responsible. If he's behind you he's responsible

Did anybody else imagine the cop with a southern accent?

You haven't done anything wrong. Why are you scared? Unless... you have a body in your trunk...

It's the fear of the cop seeing you do something wrong by accident, accidentally go a little over the speed limit, forget to indicate stc etc

The good part about being sober, his "insisting" means nothing to your sobriety tests. Potholes are bad, alignment, and I'm sure other stuff.

That bites OP. D: A friend of mine got a ticket for driving too slow because a cop was tailgating her.

Sounds like my city. The streets are so bad that a sober person zigzags and a drunk goes in a straight line. You're more suspicious if you're NOT all over the road.

"I would have avoided that pothole but I was more concerned about the police officer DIGGING my heels!" RIP OP
