Today, I got 20% tints on my car. As I'm driving home, a cop pulls me over. I didn't want to ruin my new tint by opening my window, so I opened my door as the cop approached. He then pulled out his gun and yelled "GET ON THE FUCKING GROUND!" before I could explain. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got pulled over by a cop. Since my window wasn't working, I opened the door, causing him to run towards me with a drawn gun. He then had a go at me with his night stick. After realizing my window was broken, he laughed and let me off with a warning. FML
Today, I got pulled over heading home from college. My car was full of my stuff from moving out, and I couldn't reach the glove box. I told the cop this, and asked if he wanted me to go around to the passenger side to get my paperwork. He agreed. When I got out of the car, he pepper sprayed me. FML
Today, I went to the police station to find out if the tint on my new car's windshield was too dark. The officer took one look, told me that windshield tints are illegal in California, and ticketed me. So much for being honest. FML
Today, I was pulled over by a cop. He asked for my license and registration, so I reached for my center console. I was then greeted with a gun to my ear because my coffee cup supposedly looked like a gun. I stepped out of my car to apologize, and I was hit with a big stick. FML
Today, I got pulled over for speeding. I started fixing my hair and unbuttoning a couple of buttons on my shirt, hoping the policeman would let me off with a warning. When he got to the car, he rolled his eyes and muttered something under his breath. I saw him walk back to the cop car gagging. FML
Today, my friend was pulled over and told to get out of the car. The officer motioned for me to get out of the car too so I reached behind me to get my shoes. He then pointed his gun at my face and frantically asked my friend if I had a gun. My friend calmly replied, "No, but shoot him anyway." FML
Today, I pulled up to a red light. My ex was in the next car, and my car's windows are so tinted that you can't see through them, so I flipped him off. I was driving my mom's car. FML
Today, I was pulled over by a motorcycle cop for speeding in a 25 MPH zone. As the cop was walking towards my car, I flicked my cigarette butt out of my window. So, the cop did me the pleasure of writing me two tickets instead of one. FML
Today, I was driving home. I desperately needed the bathroom, so I was speeding a little bit. A cop pulled me over and gave me hell. He said he'd heard my story a hundred times and didn't believe me. I couldn't hold it and ended up marinating in my own piss while he ran my plates. FML
Today, while driving I saw a police car riding along next to me. Thinking about the news recently, I decided to give him a quick thumbs up and a smile to lighten up his day. He looks back, smiles, flips on his siren, and pulls me over for not paying attention to the road. FML

the reason he yelled "GET ON THE ******* GROUND!" is probably because of the reason he pulled you over in the first place, which you failed to mention. i think its fake but if this really happened you clearly deserved it.

To those saying the cop was wrong, you're stupid. Cops are trained to assume the worst, because you never know what could happen. That's why they freak out if you reach into your jacket of something-they have to assume you're going for a weapon. He probably wasn't expecting you to get out of the car, you could've been coming to attack him or something. He was ensuring his safety as well as yours. YDI.

#25 i did the same thing Geez take it easy people guy didnt want to mess up his tint that he just payed for. If you open your door like that i advise putting your hands out first to show that you have nothing in them or something like that.

next time you should wait until the officer fully reaches your window, show him there is nothing in your hands, slowly open the door a crack, wait for him to move and allow you to fully open the door, then explain to him why. think about it. if a man with a gun did that he could start shooting, if someone who commited a bigger crime did this he could start running. cops don't know who you are so, you need to give them a chance to know what you are doing before you do it

#52, to the best of my knowledge only one US state allows tinted windows at 20%, and that's New Mexico. Based on the assumption that the OP is American, that gives a 1 in 50 chance that the OP's tints were legal, so given the lack of real information, it's pretty safe to bet that they were too heavily tinted and that it was completely deserved.

Um, why not open the door and NOT get out of the vehicle? Seems like the obvious solution.

#33, they're called sunglasses. Work like a charm for shading photosensitive eyes AND don't make you look like a giant loser. Win/win! OP: why were you doing something that got you pulled over in the first place??? And yeah, why would you get out? Okay, protect your ridiculous windows and open the door if you must, but why would you get out? #78 is right on the money: you are trebly idiotic!

Whoever said that cops don't have the authority to swear at you has clearly never met a cop, at least a large city one. Most cops I've seen in action have violently sworn at people, not to mention pointing guns everywhere, screaming, insulting people, etc. Cops can pretty much get away with anything they want, unless there's video and the public happens to get outraged. But as far as swearing, yeah, cops both can and will swear at you and I'm pretty sure it's not against the rules.
