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

ok, i commented once. not sure what happened. FYL. i drive a '98 cavalier, and one of the more noticeable "quirks" is that the front two window motors are broken. i've had them mechanically sealed, so they won't come down while i'm driving. so whenever people honk and yell out the window at a red light, i have to open my door to answer. every time i get food from a drive thru, boom, i open my door. when i get pulled over is no different. it's better than sitting there unable to talk to the cop like a rude asshole. if he freaks out, oh well, i didn't do anything wrong. i'm completely on your side UNLESS you started to get out of the car.

#44 - exactly. The cop didn't know who you were, I'm sure most of the time when someone opens a door they're getting ready to run or do something stupid. Better safe then sorry on his end. Hopefully you didn't get out of the car, otherwise you're just an idiot and YDI. Next time I'd just stay in your car, wait til he got to your window, then motion that you can't open your window, and slowly open your door. Oh and PS tints are stupid. (assuming you got them just to look cool)

It'd be an even bigger FML if you were getting pulled over for tints that were too dark. Tints aren't stupid. They keep the sun out.

Most of you are ******* stupid and obviously know nothing when it comes to window tinting and the law. The OP never told us what state it is then so there is no way to say if it is illegal or not. Tint laws all vary by state. Some you can go very dark on the front, some allow none at all, and some are in the middle. In regards to rolling them down right away after tint, any good, reputable shop or installer will have you wait at least 24 hours, maybe more depending on the weather (The warmer and sunnier it is, the faster the tint dries). Even if it is put on with no bubbles and shit, it still takes a while to setup and completely dry. If it is not dry, the film can move and shift on the glass when it comes in contact with the window sill. Power hungry cops? WTF are you high or something? The OP opened his door, which you are NOT supposed to do unless the cop asks you to step out, so the cop took it as a threat and pulled his gun. LIKE HE WAS TRAINED TO DO. The cop was well within his right, and I don't blame him. Its not uncommon for someone to get out and try to attack a cop. And who the **** are you to say that tint is unnecessary, looks stupid, etc? That's a personal opinion, not fact so STFU. Besides, some people have their windows tinted for medical/optical reasons. It really helps if your eyes are very sensitive to light. Seriously people, get a ******* clue before you go running your damn mouth. As for the OP - you definitely deserved that one. You should have kept both hands on the wheel and waited until he was at your window to give you directions. Then you could have informed him that your window can't go down and he could have asked you to step out. That way it is not taken as a threat to him.

He did the right thing, the cop did the right thing. It still wasn't a favorable outcome. You're not supposed to touch or use your windows after getting tint, sure people do it and it turns out fine, but you really shouldn't.
