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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, the police finally recovered my stolen car. All it took was a shootout and two people dying. 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 borrowed a roommate's car to get groceries. I came out to find the car stolen. I called the cops, and the responding officer took the info and drove me home to give the roomie the bad news in person. 15 minutes later, they found the car. I'd parked it on the opposite side of the lot. FML
Today, I was approached by a policeman who asked me if I was the owner of the green Camry. Turns out my parents decided to teach me a lesson for lying where I had been by reporting the car stolen. They also wouldn't answer my one phone call. 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 accidentally rear-ended an undercover police car. 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, I got a phone call from a detective in response to my stolen car that has been missing since St. Patrick's Day. He told me that he had found my car, but was chuckling the whole time. Turns out, I had parked my car in a different lot. I haven't had it for a week. It was never stolen. FML
Today, my car went missing. My sister constantly asks to borrow it, so I called her and asked if she had it. She swore blind that she didn't, so I called the cops and reported it stolen. They soon caught her driving the stolen vehicle. She blames me and is now telling everyone I set her up to be arrested. FML
Today, someone had put a lock on my bike. While I was trying to saw it off, the police drove by. I was arrested for trying to steal a bike and released four hours later when they figured out that it was actually my bike. FML

I'm fairly certain you actually can sue for this, darling. Is it me, or are the police getting more and more brutal these days?

to everyone say that "cops wouldn't do that," BS. Cops can do whatever they want, and then lie about what happened. Their cop buddies will stand behind them. I knew a few people this happened to. And there's no point in suing because it's your word against theirs.

This sort of thing happened the other day when two of the most respected people in aviation in the US were arrested at gunpoint because another plane that used to have their registration number was stolen years before. The police decided to approach the incident with a full 'felony stop' - loaded guns pointed at innocent people's faces because the databases weren't kept up to date. I'm all for police being able to defend themselves and take reasonable precautions, but people get hurt when guns and adrenalin mix.

Were you sitting in the driver's seat, at least?

The police have a computer in their car. They have a radio at their fingertips and can find out information instantaneously. I'm so tired of this kind of crap. They take 20 minutes to write a speeding ticket because they need to be sure they have all your warrant information. So they slam a guy against his own car because they didn't read the last line of the stolen car report....car found and returned....I wouldn't bother with a lawyer. Just go to the local TV stations. I'd demand a public apology.

Obviously, I have no idea of the details of this situation, but I wonder if there was a mistake by someone at a department, and nothing about the car being found was noted. I say this because when my car got stolen, the police department that recovered it (a few cities away) called me to let me know, and then a few days later I got a call from my local police department asking me more questions about the title or something. There was apparently no communication to them that the car had been recovered. Seems somewhat unlikely, since it sounds like they found out within a few minutes, and it sounds like they used a bit of excessive force (unless OP was resisting), but it seems pretty likely to me that the officers on the scene didn't have the full details, whether their own department did or not.

I work with cops everyday. I almost find this FML amusing.

What's amusing about it? People trust the police as long as this stuff doesn't happen to them. I can tell you from experience that sometimes police either make mistakes or abuse their power. I'm no police hater. I know they have a job to do, but it only takes a couple of pumped up knuckle heads to screw things up for the good cops that follow the rules and treat people with respect. I've seen it from both sides and it's not pretty.
