Today, I was pulled over for speeding. I speak 4 languages and thought if I spoke French, the Officer would let me off with a warning thinking I was a tourist. Afterwards I turned to my wife and said, "I can't believe that worked." He was a few feet away and heard. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got pulled over for a traffic violation. Thinking I could get away with it, I spoke with a French accent. The officer then asked me a question in perfect French. I got a ticket. FML
Today, I got pulled over for speeding. I tried to make a joke to ease the tension and said, "I’m just trying to keep up with the traffic!" The officer looked around at the empty road and said, "What traffic? Are you under the influence? HANDS ON THE WHEEL!" It went downhill from there. FML
Today, I got pulled over for speeding. I started fixing my hair and unbuttoning a couple of buttons on my shirt, hoping the policeman would let me off with a warning. When he got to the car, he rolled his eyes and muttered something under his breath. I saw him walk back to the cop car gagging. FML
Today, I got pulled over on the highway for going over the speed limit. The cop seemed nice, and I was sure he'd let me off with a warning, until my husband piped up with, "Didn't think you folks came out this far. What, the donut store got shut down or some shit?" I got the ticket. FML
Today, I got pulled over for speeding. After the cop asked for my license, he started laughing when he saw my picture. 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
Today, I was pulled over for speeding. After a few minutes of conversing, he told me he didn't need to give me a ticket. He then asked for a date. I politely declined. After staring at me for a very long moment, he said, "I think I'm going to have to give you that ticket after all." FML
Today, I was pulled over for speeding. The officer was nice and let me off with just a warning. That is, until my dipshit brother yelled "Fucking pig!" out the window as the officer walked back to his car. FML
Today, I was smoking while driving. A cop pulled me over and asked if I knew what I did wrong. I thought he could smell the tobacco, so I decided to just admit it. As it turns out, I was going well over the speed limit. FML
Today, a police officer pulled me over while I was riding my high performance motorbike. He asked if I knew why he'd pulled me over. It was too tempting to resist at the time, but in hindsight telling him ,“Because I let you?” was not the best idea I’ve ever had. Cops have no sense of humour. FML

Proof positive that speaking 4 languages doesn't mean you're smart.

Is this guy stupid? Did you literally say that JUST as the cop left your window? You deserve it, for behaving like a child instead of accepting the penalty for speeding. You also deserve it just because you're an idiot.

Haha YDI but that's a pretty clever idea.

Should've said that in French, too.

for everyone calling fake, it is possible that since the cop thought he was French, they decided to warn the without looking at their license and registration. The officer probably decided against giving him a ticket and decided why even bother looking at his license, which is stupid but possible

Pretty stupid cop if they pull someone over and get no sort of ID or anything, they don't know who they're pulling over. I'm sure it would be easy enough to indicate through hand gestures or whatever to get some form of ID.

True. they do checks on the people they pull over to check if they have any warrants for their arrest

I'm pretty sure its obvious your not a tourist when your license plate matches the state you're in. Also Ydi for saying that and being a dumbass

Yeah, because rental cars don't exist. Europeans usually drive over when they're visiting America...

lol what he said. Rental companies will almost always have the car regged in the same state... although I did have a Nirvada regged vechicle when I went over to CA last week..... (from the UK) Also.... speak 4 languages, but can't read the speed limits/speedo = YDI!

State of nirvada? What's that? is that a cross of Nevada and nirvana? i didn' tknow such state exist. To all the people who believe this FML. It's fake. No cop would just walk away and not see his driver license. What if the OP is wanted for murder, etc. The Officer, even if he's just going to give the guy a warning, will 100% look at his driver license status to see if he's clear for wants and warrants. FAKE!

The officer would be able to run the plates and would know if the car was registered to a rental agency, would he not?
