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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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

The cars cops drive are not their own responsibility. If the cop had a light out it is the dept. who needs to replace it. You however are required to take care of your own car. You got a ticket because you deserved a ticket.

In many areas, you can have a ticket dismissed if you have the issue repaired within a certain time period (usually a few days) and provide proof. I would check to see if this is the case and get it fixed immediately regardless.

But why is it perfectly acceptable for a cop (who is literally trained to spot stuff like this) not to notice they have a light out, but for an ordinary person to not notice a busted light they get a ticket? It's a double standard no matter how you look at it. Yes OP was in the wrong for driving with a busted light, nobody is disputing that, but you can't deny that it is extremely hypocritical to give a ticket when the cop was in the same situation! As far as i'm concerned it should be done on a warning system anyway- there's no leeway for people who have literally JUST had their light busted, or people who are on their way to get it fixed.

You got a ticket for being a jerkoff. Most of the time just saying "Thanks, I'll get that taken care of right away." Will get you out of a ticket.

Well, they gotta fulfill their "Lives damaged" quota. I would go and dispute that ticket if I were you.
