Today, I was pulled over by a cop. He told me one of my lights was busted, and I couldn't help but point out that one of his was out too. He said, "Thanks, I'll get that fixed right away." then gave me a ticket. 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 speeding and was shocked that the cop asked me out. Before I could respond, he noticed my wedding ring, said "Nevermind" and then gave me a ticket. FML
Today, I asked a traffic cop if it was okay to park my car briefly in a 'Monday to Friday only' parking spot, since it's Saturday. She politely replied I could. I came back less than ten minutes later, only to find a parking ticket stuck to my windshield. FML
Today, I was driving when I saw someone pulled over on the side of the road. Wanting to help, I pulled over. In so doing, I ran over something that popped my tire. The guy had just pulled over to pee. FML
Today, I got lost, and eventually noticed that I'd passed by the same house a few times. Apparently somebody who lives on that street noticed as well, because the next time I passed by, the police were waiting for me. FML
Today, my car got keyed because I was parked in a handicapped parking spot. I'm handicapped. FML
Today, I went for a run. I ended up being tackled by two cops, handcuffed, and dragged to the station with no explanation. Turns out a house nearby had been robbed and the best description they got was, "A man running." I didn't even get an apology. FML
Today, I bailed my soon to be ex-husband out of jail after he'd been arrested for soliciting. Soliciting an undercover cop. FML
Today, while walking down the street, a truck hit a puddle and splashed me with water. After I cursed and flipped him off, he put his truck in reverse and splashed me again. FML
Today, I witnessed a car accident. Being an experienced paramedic, I rushed to the scene to see if anyone needed help. As I assessed the people involved, one of them pickpocketed me. FML
Today, my car broke down in the middle of nowhere. I walked about 3 miles to the nearest house to call a tow truck. When I got back to where I left my car, it was gone. FML

My friend got pulled over once, and the cop came up and didn't even say anything about why she got pulled over, just made her get out of the car. And said that it was suspicious that she was driving her parents car (she's 18) since se didn't tell her why she was pulled over, she politely asked he literally said "because I wanted to" He also told her that driving with flip flops was illegal Which it is not in my state, we checked. He was basically a dick cop who pulled her over for no reason, I was there and the cop was totally in the wrong Some cops abuse their power which sucks and makes the cops who are good look bad.

I agree. However they don't legally need a reason to pull you over. So you shouldn't give them any reason to consider it.

I've heard of people getting pulled over so the cop could have a better look at their car, too bad if we're on our way to work!

No, they don't legally need a reason to pull you over, but this is why it's important to know your rights. And the enormously helpful phrase "am I free to go?" They can't hold you for no reason.

I was unaware that they didn't need a reason, but even so the cop was just being a dick to get the whole time and trying to find a reason to give her a ticket even though she did nothing wrong.

the cop had a reason, your friend probably was hot.

Spread the glory still either way I ticket you would have gotten a ticket if you mentioned his light out or not
laden_swallow09 35
Huh? You mean that the officer would've given OP a ticket whether the busted light was pointed out or not? Yeah, you have a point.
peanuty001 19
what kind of logic is that?

When cops are on duty, they are not bound by the same laws that civilians are. Ex: you can not carry a weapon into a governmental building. A police officer can. When you see a cop speeding down the street (without lights) do you think he won't pull you over if you speed too?

the logic is: OP was breaking the law by driving with a light out. OP got a ticket. its not hard to follow.

Cops can do whatever they want. They shouldn't be able to but they can. FYL.

That's illegal in New Zealand!
slyde32 12
Pretty sure it's illegal in Australia, too

What, talking to a cop?

and out comes all the cop-bashers.... not saying what that one officer did was right, a warning would have worked just as good. I don't know what state you are in but in some jurisdictions, if you show a receipt for the light being fixed, many prosecutors will dismiss the ticket.

That's how it is in NY. If you have it fixed before the court date you get out of it
laden_swallow09 35
Seems to be the case if the repair in question is made within 72 hours or so. The ticket itself should have some information about that.

Should of fined you double.

yeah and some doctors do drugs while working and some fireman are arsonists, priest rape boys. no one profession is perfect.

you must have said that in the most dick way possible. I have never met a cop who doesn't belive in turn about.
