Today, I was arrested. The policeman threw me to the ground because I wouldn't answer his questions. This was after he told me I had the "right to remain silent". FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I was in the library when police arrested me for threatening people. The librarian even told them I did nothing wrong, and that the actual girl they wanted had already left. They took me in anyway. My dad sided with the police and let me “think about what I did” in jail overnight. FML
Today, as a joke, I hopped in the front seat of a police cruiser and took a cute selfie while the officer was talking to someone on the sidewalk. A minute later, he dragged me to the ground and arrested me. Um… what? FML
Today, I parked next to a police officer's car in a bad part of town. When I got out, I saw a bag of pot on the ground between the cop's car and mine. When I pointed it out to him, he insisted it was mine and interrogated me to the point of tears. FML
Today, I finally got to conduct my first questioning of a suspect, who had been arrested in connection with a car theft. As I recited the Miranda warning to him, my mind went totally blank, and after a few seconds, he sarcastically continued the speech for me. FML
Today, I was hammered, and on my way home I walked into a policeman. My logic was, if I'm on the phone, he can't talk to me, so I pulled my phone out and started speaking. The officer then asked me why I was speaking to my wallet. FML
Today, I learned that "Officer, I do not consent to any searches" means "Officer, please handcuff me, I am trying to be difficult" in cop speak. FML
Today, I had the cops called on me for acting suspiciously. I was using a payphone. FML
Today, a police officer pulled me over. He asked me where I was headed, so I jokingly replied, "Probably to jail after you run my name". He laughed and took my information, only to then arrest me for unpaid parking tickets I never received. FML
Today, I got pulled over for the first time. When the officer came up to my window, I immediately burst out into tears due to nervousness. He kept asking me for my licence and registration. Hysterical, I wasn't able to comply. He arrested me for not cooperating. FML
Today, I was arrested by the police for sitting in what they thought was a stolen vehicle. After being slammed into the back of a squad car at gunpoint, they realized the car was actually recovered a week ago. FML

**** cops.

You have a choice. The police cannot make you answer any questions nor can they be physically violent toward you if you don't. OPs rights were violated and I damn well hope they take it to court. Police brutality is never acceptable.

The police say that because it's part of department procedure. They don't want people to remain silent because it makes their lives considerably easier when suspects talk. Thus, they try to coax people into talking and some resort to force.

You have the right to remain silent, but you don't have the right not to accept the consequences of your actions. We're not getting any of the real story here OP, you probably deserved it and just want something to whine about because you "hate cops" like all the other cool kids. The cop didn't pull you over for absolutely no reason. So I'm going with a YDI on this one.

Plus cops tend to read you your rights when they cuff you because that is when you are actually arrested, before hand they're just talking to you trying to figure things out. When they cuff you, they usually put you into the back of the car as well, not just hang out there and keep asking more questions. This FML just seems really off.

This FML is from Malaysia, where the rules and procedures are different from your home countries, and where the police forces are well-known for having corrupt elements. Please check next time before saying the FML is "off", or in less veiled language, "fake".
