Today, I learned that making an illegal U-turn right after you see a cop doing one will not stop said cop from ticketing you. FML
Collection
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 by a cop and was fined $210 for making an illegal u-turn. When the cop finished writing my ticket and hopped in his car, he made the same u-turn. FML
Today, a cop pulled me over because there was a sign hidden behind a tree that said "No left turn". As I was getting my ticket, I watched as three cars turned left. The cop saw them, laughed, and said, "I guess you're the unlucky one." FML
Today, I was looking for a parking spot and finally found one. Trying to figure out if the spot was legal, I asked a cop that had pulled up. He said it was fine. I came back 3 hours later to a parking ticket. FML
Today, while on my driving test, the guy told me to pull over and do a U-turn. A few minutes later, he asked me to do another one. After the test, he said I'd failed because the second U-turn was illegal, and I should have refused to comply. I didn't know they're even allowed do that. FML
Today, I was pulled over for going the wrong way on a closed highway. The construction signs pointed me in that direction, and the cop agreed that they should be fixed. Did it stop him from giving me a ticket anyway? Nope. FML
Today, I was going 73 in a 55 on a country road when an oncoming cop passed me. He pulled a U turn. I turned off the main road and took random turns. I got lost, was 30 minutes late to work, and the cop still found me and gave me two tickets. I had to ask him for directions. FML
Today, the car I was in got pulled over by the police for making an illegal turn. I was in a cab. And he kept the meter running. FML
Today, a policeman pulled me over and proceeded to flirt with me. After I had rejected him, he gave me a ticket for "not paying attention to the road". FML
Today, while I was driving, a police officer jumped out from the sidewalk and into my lane. I slammed on the brakes so I wouldn't hit him. He then gave me a ticket for "obstructing traffic." FML
Today, I was driving home from work when I saw a cop come up behind me. Nervous about my expired license, I kept checking in my rear view mirror. In turn since I wasn't paying attention, I ran a stop sign. Needless to say the cop pulled me over and gave me 2 tickets. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Just because the cop was being reckless doesn't mean you should be.

You know what's also dumb? Leaving the "e" off the end of "the" repeatedly.

Yeahhh...cops get to do that sort of thing. Similar thing happened to me, though. When I was a freshman in college, I wasn't familiar with the roads on campus and didn't realize that the one leading to my dorm was a one way (neither did ANYONE. Super dangerous.) I made a U-Turn, and apparently there was a cop RIGHT behind me. Not only did he see me do the U-Turn, but I almost hit his car. Busted. Luckily he was forgiving and only gave me a ticket for the U-Turn, not for almost killing him. Fail on me.

There was ONE, and it wasn't exactly in plain sight. I could have argued the whole "new to the campus" thing, but almost hitting the cop kinda ruined my chances lol. I had just gotten my license...At least I can say that was the only idiotic mistake I've made in a car. :P

The OP still did something illegal, there's nothing to contest. Also emergency vehicles have different rules. Not to say that it doesn't occasionally get abused, but you wouldn't get upset that a fire truck ran through a red light if it was trying to get to your burning apartment.
