Today, I got 20% tints on my car. As I'm driving home, a cop pulls me over. I didn't want to ruin my new tint by opening my window, so I opened my door as the cop approached. He then pulled out his gun and yelled "GET ON THE FUCKING GROUND!" before I could explain. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got pulled over by a cop. Since my window wasn't working, I opened the door, causing him to run towards me with a drawn gun. He then had a go at me with his night stick. After realizing my window was broken, he laughed and let me off with a warning. FML
Today, I got pulled over heading home from college. My car was full of my stuff from moving out, and I couldn't reach the glove box. I told the cop this, and asked if he wanted me to go around to the passenger side to get my paperwork. He agreed. When I got out of the car, he pepper sprayed me. FML
Today, I went to the police station to find out if the tint on my new car's windshield was too dark. The officer took one look, told me that windshield tints are illegal in California, and ticketed me. So much for being honest. FML
Today, I was pulled over by a cop. He asked for my license and registration, so I reached for my center console. I was then greeted with a gun to my ear because my coffee cup supposedly looked like a gun. I stepped out of my car to apologize, and I was hit with a big stick. FML
Today, I got pulled over for speeding. I started fixing my hair and unbuttoning a couple of buttons on my shirt, hoping the policeman would let me off with a warning. When he got to the car, he rolled his eyes and muttered something under his breath. I saw him walk back to the cop car gagging. FML
Today, my friend was pulled over and told to get out of the car. The officer motioned for me to get out of the car too so I reached behind me to get my shoes. He then pointed his gun at my face and frantically asked my friend if I had a gun. My friend calmly replied, "No, but shoot him anyway." FML
Today, I pulled up to a red light. My ex was in the next car, and my car's windows are so tinted that you can't see through them, so I flipped him off. I was driving my mom's car. FML
Today, I was pulled over by a motorcycle cop for speeding in a 25 MPH zone. As the cop was walking towards my car, I flicked my cigarette butt out of my window. So, the cop did me the pleasure of writing me two tickets instead of one. 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, while driving I saw a police car riding along next to me. Thinking about the news recently, I decided to give him a quick thumbs up and a smile to lighten up his day. He looks back, smiles, flips on his siren, and pulls me over for not paying attention to the road. FML

Just wanted to add, tints have a lot of purposes. They keep the sun out of your car and keep the inside cooler especially in hotter climates...plus I liked having tints on my old car because then creepy ppl wouldnt stare at me at stoplights haha, it happens more then youd think ;P

It's neither party's fault. Cop perceived it as a threat, and OP didn't want to ruin his tints. ****, I wouldn't want to ruin them either.

To all you people who say, "Oh, the OP should know better! He was an obvious threat! Blah blah blah." Says who? I never heard of that crap. "Protect and serve," huh? What a bunch of bullshit. I've been to driving school, know several cops, and been pulled over several times and have never heard of any sort of rule that Everyone Should Know about not opening the door or the cop ******* attacks you. Have I seen a cop back up two paces and put his hand on his weapon? Sure. That's a reasonable precaution. Should you keep your hands in plain sight and not just jump right out in a flash? Sure. That's actually common courtesy when approaching ANYONE you don't know. But getting a gun in your face is an overreaction if all the OP did was open the door. Sorry, dude. You found a nervous cop on a bad day. **** him.

@ 158: What I said was correct. In Texas, as long as your window tint reads 20% or higher on the front windows -- the only windows they test -- you will pass that part of the state inspection. Technically, the law is 25%, but the law also states that you cannot fail a state inspection if your tint reads 20% or higher.

@ 123: Way to make a complete idiot out of yourself. Read the other posts explaining why the cop had all right to act the way he did and I think you'll realize the only imbecile in this thread is you.

@ 173 sorry i just reread what you said and realized that you said it would pass, not that thats what the law is.

for those of you bashing on the cops, the officer responded how he should. you are not supposed to open the door or get out unless the cop tells you to. its for the officer's safety
