Today, I was pulled over. The cop stated that he "couldn't see" me because I had "blended in with the dark car background", and that it looked like no one was driving. I was literally pulled over for being black. FML

Today, I got pulled over, not because I was speeding but because apparently, I looked like a kid driving. The officer said I was too short to drive and needed a booster seat. FML

Today, I was pulled over because I looked like a possible suspect for a robbery. While searching me, the police's radio went off and the person on the other line said, "Possible suspect, 5'5", thin" - the officer stopped right then and murmured, "too short and fat" and walked back to his car. FML

Today, I pulled up to the stoplight near my house. It was dark with no traffic and the car behind me kept edging closer and closer to me. I finally got fed up with waiting and the car and ran it. In fact, it was a cop and he was trying to read my license plate because the back light was out. FML

Today, I was driving down a completely empty street when a cop pulled me over for no reason at all. When he approached my window, I began to get defensive until he informed me I was driving the wrong way down a one way street. FML

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 dancing in the passenger seat of my car with my family when a cop pulled us over. He thought I was trying to flag him down for help. I guess I'm not as good of a dancer as I thought. FML

Close shave

Today, the police posted a description of the car of a child abductor. As everyone slowed down to read the billboard, I realized that the car's description and license plate were very similar to mine. After getting death stares from passengers, I got pulled over. Twice. 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

Everyone who said that it was racist were probably thinking that it was a white cop

The cop is stupid for thinking he could pull over a car that no one was driving.

This is one of the few situations were discrimination is OK. As a police officer, if you see something amiss in a car, it's your responsibility to check it out. If it looks like nobody's driving, that's definitely "something amiss" that should be checked out.

"Hey, no one's driving that car! I bet if I put my lights on it'll pull itself over." No.

"Stevieb123", slang for "can't spell for shit".

Before you say sue, read a civil law book. You don't need probable cause to stop a vehicle, you need reasonable suspicion. Additionally, there's a traffic violation called "obstructed view." If you can't see the driver, the driver can't see the road. I'm sure the cop was amazingly embarrassed, but what did he take from the OP to check his safety? Five seconds of OPs day.
