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

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

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

if the cop jumped off a bridge, would you do it too?

Whenever someone asks me if my friend jumps off a bridge Would I? My response is that if my friend jumped off a bridge they would have a damn good reason and I should probably follow. Like we are being chased by Michael ******* Myers

I don't usually like to say that people deserved it, but I think that in this case you do. I'm not sure about the area in which you live, but around here almost all of the turn around areas (u-turn lanes) state whether it is legal or not. Mostly all of the illegal u-turn lanes have a sign on or below it that says "authorized vehicles only". I know because I am a fireman and those u-turns are supposed to be for us, police, ambulance, and state and county work vehicles. Though, I remember a bad wreck out on the highway last week where there was an emergency u-turn lane right before the accident scene, and all the motorists were trying to use it to their own benefit when there was probably eight or ten cops just a few feet ahead. Traffic laws are in effect to make the roads safer for everyone on them. Be sure to follow them.

Cops have the right to do a U-turn if it is absolutely necessary. That's a no-brainer. You fail.
