Cops don't do jokes

Today, a police officer pulled me over. He asked me where I was headed, so I jokingly replied, "Probably to jail after you run my name". He laughed and took my information, only to then arrest me for unpaid parking tickets I never received. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.

I'm sorry, OP, but that's actually really funny.

Careful what you say... But seriously, that sucks. Is there any way to prove you never got those tickets?

Oh, the irony!

Maybe you should not joke about it... I mean, it's a policeman, the one person who don't want stupid jokes. I would arrest myself for being that stupid...

The officer did laugh though.

Most officers I've had the experience talking to prefer a bit of humor, kinda breaks up some tense moments and in that line of work there are plenty..

true dog.

Trying to use humor to defuse a stressful situation normally works... Unless fate hates you.

In this case, fate was 100% against him. Poor OP, what are the chances!

Damn, that sucks OP. But maybe you shouldn't of said that.

Wouldn't of made a difference lol, they run your name anyways

Maybe you should HAVE used the correct spelling.

Shoulda used your right to remain silent.
