Today, I found a great parking spot but I wasn't sure if it was restricted by any means or of I could just park there for free. I asked a police officer walking by and he told me it was alright, only to come back 4 hours later to find a ticket on my windshield. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, I parked my car, went to pay for my spot, and returned to my car only to find a parking violation ticket tucked under the windshield wipers. This all happened in less than a minute. FML
Today, I went to city hall to pay for a parking ticket. After returning to my truck, I found a parking ticket on my window. FML
Today, I wasn't sure whether it was past the time when they stopped giving out parking tickets. I checked the meters on either side of my car, and both were expired, so I figured I was good. I came back out to all three of us having tickets. FML
Today, I got a parking ticket while I was in the car. I didn't even notice it happen. Ninja cops do exist. FML

Today, a police officer pulled me over. He asked me where I was headed, so I jokingly replied, "Probably to jail after you run my name". He laughed and took my information, only to then arrest me for unpaid parking tickets I never received. FML

You actually expected a police officer to help you!?? In 2016!?? lol ydi, he may have helped you back on 1984 but not now. Now all police just want to ticket/arrest anyone and they don't care if they're innocent or not.

You can plead not guilty in traffic court. That way you can question him under oath. And chances are, you will have the ticket rescinded.

Yeah, because a cop will always tell the truth when under oath. You need witnesses for that, otherwise he will just deny the whole thing and you are scr*wed.

That's assuming it was the same cop.

Learn the rules!! so that next time when you get into a similar situation don't have to ask anyone.

Cops are not your lawyer. While most are good people, some are not required to be honest answering questions like that, and they won't. Sorry to hear you got screwed.

As if news reports and the media itself hasn't made it clear that some officers can't be trusted enough. Now it's on FML to be official
