Today, I was pulled over by a cop and was fined $210 for making an illegal u-turn. When the cop finished writing my ticket and hopped in his car, he made the same u-turn. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I learned that making an illegal U-turn right after you see a cop doing one will not stop said cop from ticketing you. FML
Today, I was going 73 in a 55 on a country road when an oncoming cop passed me. He pulled a U turn. I turned off the main road and took random turns. I got lost, was 30 minutes late to work, and the cop still found me and gave me two tickets. I had to ask him for directions. FML
Today, the car I was in got pulled over by the police for making an illegal turn. I was in a cab. And he kept the meter running. FML
Today, I got pulled over for a busted tail light. The officer gave me a warning and told me to fix it. Ten minutes later I was pulled over again for the same busted tail light by the same cop. This time he wrote me a ticket. FML
Today, I got a speeding ticket. I wrote a check, and on the way to deposit my fine, I got another one. I put both fines in a box down town, and I turned around to see a cop putting a parking ticket under my wind-shield wiper. FML
Today, I was driving home from work when I saw a cop come up behind me. Nervous about my expired license, I kept checking in my rear view mirror. In turn since I wasn't paying attention, I ran a stop sign. Needless to say the cop pulled me over and gave me 2 tickets. FML
Today, a cop rear-ended me. Then I received a ticket from him for driving too far under the speed limit. We were in a school zone. FML
Today, I got pulled over for speeding and got a $200 ticket. After I pulled away, I decided to warn the next car about the cop up ahead by flashing my headlights. The next car was another cop. He didn't appreciate my "help". FML
Today, I was on the way to traffic court for a $340 speeding ticket I'd got. My mother called me and I wasn't paying attention which caused me to speed. Right past a cop. When I told the cop where I was going, he started laughing at me. I now have another $300 ticket. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

maybe it's because in from Washington state but I've never been bothered by a cop for a uturn legal or otherwise. I actually had a cop pull me over for a headlight then watch traffic for me so I COULD make the uturn.

I have to agree with 24 on this, YDI for breaking the law, 2 wrongs don't make a right, but stop botching and trying to get some sympathy because you broke the law and feel like you were in the right because the cop proceeded to do what you just got ticketed for. Regardless of ANY factors, YDI. Lessons Learned: Dont break the law... Also stop posting these shitty FML's... Ones like this are just plain bad (yay for fucktards?).

it depends on state law whether or not the police are allowed to break traffic law. All states allow it to some degree. I know here in MD they can only break traffic law if driving in "emergency status", lights AND siren, or just siren without lights. Just lights don't count. However, if they are responding to specific calls where they may scare off the suspect they can go just lights after the first mile to the scene and no emergency equipment at all 4 blocks from the scene. I was a cop for a while :P forced to retire on disability FML
