Today, as I was driving home, I saw a woman get hit by a car. I immediately parked on the side of the road to assist her. I called an ambulance and stayed with her until they came to get her, comforting her all the while. When I returned to my car, I found a parking ticket in my windshield. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, at a red light, an old lady crossing the street fell right in front of my car. I got out of my car to help her. The light turned green and I was still helping the woman to her feet. An officer came by and ticketed me for "impeding the flow of traffic." FML
Today, I was hit by a car speeding through an intersection after the light had already turned red. Still partly blacked out, I crawled onto the sidewalk and I sat down. The woman rolled down her car window and yelled, "Watch where you're going!" as she drove by. FML
Today, on my way to work, I noticed a woman on the side of the road waving for help, her car appearing to be broken down. I pulled over, stepped out of my car, went over to her car, lifted the hood, and checked it. When I looked up to tell her what was wrong, she and my car were gone. FML
Today, a couple of friends and I were driving around town and saw a lady who had accidentally backed her car up onto a concrete wall. Laughing, we all turned to look as we passed and I drove straight into a parked police car that had stopped to help her. FML
Today, I saw a bad car wreck. I pulled over and ran to the car to find an unconscious man behind the wheel. Another car pulled up, and a guy got out. I was relieved to have help, until, to my horror, he started trying to hit on me. I was stuck with him until the ambulance arrived. FML
Today, after I arrived at work, somebody crashed into my parked car and left a big dent. The impact pushed my car up onto the curb and I got a parking ticket. FML
Today, while driving, I got a call on my cell phone. Trying to be safe and avoid an accident, I pulled into the nearest parking lot before answering. While I was turning in to park, someone rear-ended me. FML
Today, I was in a car accident. After screaming at the woman for running into me, I got in my car and drove off. As I was driving away, I was staring her down when I ended up rear-ending the person in front of me. FML
Today, I was walking on the sidewalk near my house when a car pulled out of a parking spot in front of a speeding ambulance. The ambulance swerved up onto the grass. Yes, I broke my arm after being hit by an ambulance. FML
Today, I hit a car while trying to park. Assuming that no one saw, I moved my car and parked somewhere else. Hours later I get a call from the university police. While backing up to go to the police station I hit another car. FML

There is usually a process by which you can contest the ticket. You MIGHT be able to get out of it since it was an emergency.

good for you, OP, for doing the right thing! but this just proves even more so that 99% of cops are assholes. fight him though; you would easily win. a woman was hit by a car! it's his duty to help her, not the general public (even though it's great when people like the OP do). what the hell was he doing giving out parking tickets when she's on the ground in serious pain? he could get in a lot of trouble for that. and another thing; where was the person who hit her? did he just take off? f yours and the woman's lives.

yeah cops can be major dicks sometimes. i saw a car accident on the highway once and stopped to make sure the people were okay and i stayed there with them until the police and everyone arrived, luckily no one was hurt... but when the first cop got on the scene he told my friend and i that we had to leave immediately... even though we were witnesses to the accident and saw the other driver take off. but for all we know... i could have been one of those meter maids or something who issued the ticket. and wow #6, i am soo sorry :(

Just take the ticket to court. If the cop doesn't show up, and they usually don't, it gets annulled.

i would agree if it were true, there is no way you actually get a parking ticket if your next to an accident.
