Today, I saw a car swerving in front of me on the freeway, so I whipped out my cell to report the DUI. As soon as it started ringing, I see police lights in my rear view and got slapped with a ticket for using a cell phone while driving. After explaining why, the officer said, "Nice try." FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I was driving when I noticed that the guy in front was on the phone. I pulled up next to him, pulled out my phone and I made a gesture that he needed to put his phone away. It was a cop. I got a ticket for driving while on my cell phone. FML
Today, I was driving to work. I saw a cute boy in the car next to me. To try and look cool, I pretended I was talking on my cell phone. I got pulled over and got a ticket for using my cell phone while driving. 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, I saw someone drive recklessly as if they were drunk. When I called the cops, I got pulled over by another cop for talking on my cell phone. FML
Today, I rear ended a cop while talking on my cell phone. FML
Today, I was driving to work when a state trooper rammed into my car from behind, because he was on the cell phone and not paying attention. He gave me a ticket for "Failure to control speed to avoid a crash." FML
Today, I was driving home and got a phone call from my mom. She called to tell me that there was a cop at the bottom of our hill, and to be careful. I got a ticket for talking on my cell phone while driving. 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, I pulled over because my cell phone was ringing, as it's now illegal to use in a car. I finished the call when a motorcycle cop on side of road pulls up behind me and comes over. The reason? "You pulled off the road and it was suspicious, then I ran your plate…" 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

why didn't you just show him the last number dialed on your phone? I'm sure that a cop would know the local police phone number

It probably wasn't a DUII driver...it was probably just a person using their cell phone, just like you. I see it all the time, especially with texters.

It was probably easier to just nab the cell phone talker.

voice control + speakerphone = discreet talking on cell phone (if you don't own a Bluetooth headset)

It's also way less dangerous because you never have to take your eyes off the road.

You don't know that the dude in front of you was driving drunk. He could be changing the CD in his car, or lighting a cigarette, or beating a child in the passenger seat. You don't know why he was swerving, so you shouldn't assume that you do.

agreed!

In some states they have signs on the freeway with a phone number saying "Call to report drunk drivers". Apparently not California but other states encourage you to report reckless driving that you may suspect is drunk driving.

you people are idiots. he doesn't deserve it for snitching.. do you like to drive around drunk drivers? do you want them to get in an accident and harm others? No, so please stfu.

you don't know that the other driver was drunk, for all you know, you could be in the person driving behind the OP and then you'd be reporting him for texting-while-driving, which causes him to lose focus and essentially leading to road accidents and harm others as well, just to prove how your argument could backfire you. so unless you are sure of what's happening, which most of the time you won't because you're to quick to judge and snitch on people, you're the one who should stfu and stop acting like an idiot only thinking of snitching on other people.

Reckless driving is an appropriate reason to snitch. If they swerve once, they were probably changing a cd or something. If they continually swerve, they're dangerous and you have every right to snitch. My state has signs on the freeway saying "Call to report drunk drivers" so if they're acting like they could be drunk, we're encouraged to report them. I'd much rather think someone was drunk and it turns out they weren't than find out later that driver I didn't report killed an entire family.
