Today, I came through a DUI checkpoint. The trooper noticed some donuts I had. He asked, "Are those donuts?" Jokingly, I replied, "Yes. Why? Are you going to confiscate them?" He didn't see the humor and pulled me off to the side to have a team search my truck. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was pulled over for distracted driving. I'd been eating a donut. Let's just say the officer didn't appreciate being offered one. FML
Today, I got pulled over by a cop car. As I was fumbling for my license and registration, I handed the officer a half-empty bag of Doritos I’d forgotten was in my glove box. He thought I was trying to bribe him. 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, 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
Today, I got pulled over and ticketed while taking cookies to the local police station. 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 a broken taillight. When I rolled down the window, the cop asked me if I was smoking crack. When I told him I didn't do drugs, he didn't believe me since he could detect a foul odor coming from my car. I'd just passed gas big time. FML
Today, some friends and I were pulled over on our way back from a party. We'd had a few drinks, so we tried to play it cool just in case we were over the limit. The cop didn't seem to want to breathalyze us, until my really high friend in the backseat said, "These are not the droids you are looking for." FML
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
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

They can't search it without probable cause. Donuts do not count as probable cause no matter how much they want them to.

making cop jokes at a cop may not have been the best idea.

The US Supreme Court has ruled that sobriety checkpoints are permissible under the Constitution. Once they stop you, it's not hard to find an excuse to detain you further or search your vehicle. Having reason to doubt your sobriety leaves a lot to the cop's judgment. There are many arcane traffic laws that most people break, so a cop likely won't have trouble charging you with something or other. Also, most traffic courts will take the word of a cop over yours any day, and you can bet that the cop's buddies will back him up. The best defense is not to annoy the police. Remember, cops are people too. If you piss them off, expect them to find some way to ruin your day. Any cop joke involving doughnuts or the word "pig" is a good way get on an officer's bad side.

the sad part here is 3 trucks with drugs probably came through while "tough cop" had to be a douche. i learned from watching my dad get arrested... cops just dont take jokes the right way.

You should have offered him a doughnut, & you could have been drunk off your ass & got let go. in fact, I might just keep doughnuts in my car after the 3 speeding tickets on my commute to work.

actually they don't need a reason to search your car
