Today, I discovered that sitting in the back of your car from 8 to 9 p.m. talking with a friend in a park area is suspicious enough behavior to have cops called on you, then for backup to arrive. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was chilling out with my friend in a parking lot, when a police officer came up to the vehicle and suspiciously asked what we were up to. My friend sarcastically said, "Uh, doing drugs? Planning a drive-by? Haha!" We soon found ourselves in the back of a cop car. FML
Today, I was waiting after work in a parking lot for my ride and was dancing a little to keep warm. Next thing I know the cops pull up to me and said that someone called in to report someone dancing in an empty parking lot. FML
Today, after taking my crush to the train station late at night, I sat in a local park alone with my thoughts for a while. Two cops appeared out of nowhere and started searching me for drugs and weapons, asking me questions for a good 30 minutes. Not the kind of action I expected tonight. FML
Today, I decided I'd take a nap in my car because I got to work very early. As I was waking up from my nap, I saw a cop looking right at me. Turns out, a lady who'd parked her car right next to mine after I was asleep had called the cops on me because she thought I was dead. FML
Today, I had the cops called on me for acting suspiciously. I was using a payphone. FML
Today, I was having a rough day and decided to go out for a walk at 1 a.m. to clear my head. I ended up being driven home by two cops, who thought I was prostituting myself at the truck stop. When we arrived, they had a nice conversation with my parents. FML
Today, I found an empty parking space in a crowded parking lot. When I came back later, a lady and a cop were standing by my car. Her car used to be parked there and got stolen. They think I'm involved. FML
Today, the cops showed up at my work because people were fighting in the parking lot. This is a nightly occurrence. FML
Today, I caught some perverts sitting in a car in front of my house, spying on my neighbors. When they refused to leave, I grabbed a baseball bat and they sped off in a hurry. Later, those same perverts came back to arrest my neighbors for drug trafficking. I had threatened cops. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

F-a-i-l-u-r-e. What are we paying these people for anyway? To write speeding tickets to someone going 19 in an 18 mile an hour zone? Sheesh. America really needs to get itself together. Seriously.

Unless you're black then I guess that makes since. Racial profiling does exist in so many ways.

11, it looked like a drug deal, so they kind of were doing their jobs. However, backup may have been a bit much.

To all you saying cops are dumbasses, let me shed some light here. Most of the time cops dont pull people over or check people out on there own, it's overly-paranoid people who see two people sitting in a car in the park late at night and assume its drug dealers or rapists, so they call the police. The police HAVE to go check them out, even if they think its ridiculous. Example: I was sitting in my car outside 7-ll at 5 in the afternoon having a smoke and some woman called the cops and said i had pot, so the cops had to come check me out, AND had to call backup becasue thats just protocal. Officer Mussac, the cop who came up to me, appologized for having to bother me. It's not the cops fault!

Agreed 60, though I didn't know that backup was protocol. They were just doing their jobs.

Well most parks are CLOSED after dusk, at least that's how it is in PA.

That's assuming he was in a park that actually "closes". He could be in one of those tiny little 'parks' with just a playground, a walking path and some trees.

I've had police and backup come up to my truck while me and my now-fiancé were having sex. We were both 16 at the time. Fortunately we had just finished and they told us to get going. I know how that goes. FYL

America's cops fail. Unfortunatily, Montreal's cops are worst.

YDI for sitting in the back seat - that's what aroused suspicion. You couldn't sit in the front seat and talk?

They ask you that to see what your reaction is. They are not serious. Usually people with something to hide don't act surprised, when innocent people tend to be kind of surprised at the question.
