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

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

I don't blame the cops, a lot of the time when someone opens the door they attack them. Still I hope you got enough time to explain it before he cuffed and/or shot you.

What the hell kind of cheap tinting crap did you get that you thought rolling down the window would ruin it? I've seen it done before and rolling down the window helps ensure it's on properly.... That cop was smart. They don't know who you are, what you're like, if you're holding or that you just got some cheap tint job and were too scared to ruin it. He was thinking, oh crap, this guy could potentially kill me, better protect myself. Everyone knows that...except you I guess.

to everyone who says not to roll down the windows right after they're tinted, listen to yourself it makes absolutely no sense if the tint was put on there like it was supposed to without bubbles and scratches in the first place, then it's good to go. it's like gluing something, so i would guess that after about 30-60 minutes it would be absolutely fine to roll windows up and down.

If I was a cop in the USA, I'd be paranoid too. YDI.

even if you did spook the cop, he doesnt have the authority to swear at you... irrelevant but true if you did somehow get a ticket...could be useful

dude, totally FYL on this one. i drive a 98 cavalier, and one of its many "lovable quirks" is the fact that the two front windows have broken motors. i've had them mechanically sealed, so they won't open while i'm driving. i've gotten pulled over once in missouri, and the cop was cool, but now that i've moved to la, i fully expect to have a gun in my face at some point. oh well, they're just doing their job. but still, it's not like i'm getting out of my car. i'm just sitting there. so **** the ******* pigs ;)

Tough call. I got 35 in the front 2 windows and 19% in the back 2, 35% being the "limit". I figured (and was even told so by a guy that works on cars) the back 2 wouldn't matter because I'd be the subject of their interest and be in the front, but I learned otherwise when my $150 speeding ticket became $400. Depending on the state, 20% could be illegal, and even if it isn't you should have been driving extra careful to ensure this situation wouldn't happen. If you were to open the door you should have done it before he even left the car and put your hands out first to let him know you didn't have bad intentions. YDI man

#44: and people & cops like you, are the exact reasons people get killed. People die because of cops who act before they know what happened or what happening. Cops have gotten too untrusting and then they get let off easily when they kill an innocent. I'm not saying they don't have a right and a reason to be, but they react unnecessarily[sp?] sometimes and it causes things like that. And who cares about tinted windows, maybe the OP doesn't like the sun or people watching them. I know I really don't like when people in other cars look. Or hey, maybe its a guy and his girlfriend likes to give him roadhead a lot so he needs tinted windows..... But yeah, FYL/YDI. You shouldn't have worried about the windows really.
