Today, I got pulled over for a traffic violation. Thinking I could get away with it, I spoke with a French accent. The officer then asked me a question in perfect French. I got a ticket. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was pulled over for speeding. I speak 4 languages and thought if I spoke French, the Officer would let me off with a warning thinking I was a tourist. Afterwards I turned to my wife and said, "I can't believe that worked." He was a few feet away and heard. FML
Today, a policeman pulled me over and proceeded to flirt with me. After I had rejected him, he gave me a ticket for "not paying attention to the road". FML
Today, I accidentally edged over the speed limit and got pulled over. The officer asked me if I knew why he'd pulled me over. Before I could say something diplomatic, my dad said from the passenger seat, "Because you're a prick in fancy dress?" I got ticketed. FML
Today, I got pulled over for speeding. I tried to make a joke to ease the tension and said, "I’m just trying to keep up with the traffic!" The officer looked around at the empty road and said, "What traffic? Are you under the influence? HANDS ON THE WHEEL!" It went downhill from there. FML
Today, I got pulled over during my driving test. FML
Today, I got pulled over for speeding. After the cop asked for my license, he started laughing when he saw my picture. FML
Today, I got pulled over for going about 88mph. When the cop asked why I was speeding, I replied, "I was trying to go back in time." He didn't like that answer and gave me a ticket. FML
Today, I got pulled over for speeding. I know that I was in the wrong and will take responsibility for that. When the cop handed me my ticket, he asked me if I was smoking crack. I denied it because I don't do drugs. He asked me what that foul odor was. I was passing gas. FML
Today, I got stopped by the fuzz. The officer told me he "could care less" about my excuses. He was probably about to let me go without a ticket, but my inner Grammar Nazi kicked in and I explained why he meant to say "couldn't care less." I got the ticket. FML
Today, I got pulled over on the highway for going over the speed limit. The cop seemed nice, and I was sure he'd let me off with a warning, until my husband piped up with, "Didn't think you folks came out this far. What, the donut store got shut down or some shit?" I got the ticket. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Well, if you were following the rules of the road, this wouldn't have happened.

Apparently there is some sympathy. At this moment 373 (insert negative name here) thought he didn't deserve it.

This rarely works now, YDI for not being responsible for your own mistakes.

"Now"? When did having an accent ever stop people from getting tickets? OP, you are an idiot. If it makes you feel any better (and I hope it doesn't), you were going to get a ticket even if the officer didn't speak French. You're plan was incredibly stupid.

If OP was a girl they could've unbuttoned their shirt. My mom did that and they let her go.

I agree. OP deserves it for thinking that they could get away with it if they spoke with a French accent. Just own up to your mistake op.

win for the cop

I agree. Cop win for speaking French. It's always handy to know ANY foreign language, and in this case it helped to bring a douchebag to justice.

It's actually required to know a second language in most places, if you want to become a police officer. Stupid of the OP to pick French, especially if she's Canadian. If she had picked a spanish accent it also would have been very stupid, especially if this took place in the US.
