Today, I got pulled over for the first time since I got my license. I have disorganized speech and occasional inappropriate emotional response. I began to laugh due to nervousness and when I tried to explain why, I was arrested because he thought I was high. 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 for the first time. When the officer came up to my window, I immediately burst out into tears due to nervousness. He kept asking me for my licence and registration. Hysterical, I wasn't able to comply. He arrested me for not cooperating. 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 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 for drunk driving. This is the second time its happened. I was completely sober both times. FML
Today, I got pulled over during my driving test. FML
Today, I was pulled over for a DWI. The police officer was drunk. FML
Today, I drove alone for the first time since I passed my test. I kept getting weird looks from other drivers and got pulled over by a cop. He said I was clearly underage and was sure my license was fake. Almost half an hour later, he finally let me go. I hate having a baby-face. FML
Today, a police officer pulled me over while I was riding my high performance motorbike. He asked if I knew why he'd pulled me over. It was too tempting to resist at the time, but in hindsight telling him ,“Because I let you?” was not the best idea I’ve ever had. Cops have no sense of humour. FML
Today, I was smoking while driving. A cop pulled me over and asked if I knew what I did wrong. I thought he could smell the tobacco, so I decided to just admit it. As it turns out, I was going well over the speed limit. FML
Today, it was my first driving lesson. I was so bad, the police stopped me and accused me of being drunk, because I almost crashed into the pole in front of them. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Disorganized speech and inappropriate emotional responses are classic signs of schizophrenia. I don't think the ticket is your biggest problem. The tiny sexist part of me, however, says you talk too fast (disorganized speech) and are a woman (inappropriate emotional responses). No I am not a sexist pig, it is simply true GENERALLY, not ALWAYS.

I'm going to nth the potential schizophrenia, or at least some kind of schizoaffective disorder. most schizophrenics probably shouldn't be driving anyway.

Gah. Just talking about the characteristics of a gender doesn't make you sexist. He's not saying IN ANY WAY that guys are better than girls. He just made an educated guess, which was, in fact, correct. OP is indeed a woman.

If you didn't do anything wrong, you have nothing to be nervous about. So you did something wrong. YDI

That's an unnecessary simplification, don't you think? Especially for a new driver.
Pennypoo 0
maybe she was nervous bc she didnt know what she did wrong. It's the police. sometimes they just make people nervous at the sight of them. dont assume things

Because cops are always right, huh. It's one thing to get a ticket for a little thng, but quite another to get arrested. Hope the OP got the badge number and name, because behavior or lack of deference to a police officer is not grounds for arrest. Laughing doesn't mean you're high, and without a smell or anything else that is not probable cause.

#3: I've been driving for years and got pulled over the other day for the first time. I was nervous because I didn't think I was seriously violating any traffic laws (the cop was just being extra strict as I was going over 25 but under 30 in a 25mph area, but it was raining and she felt I should've gone a little slower, so she let me off with a warning) but I stuttered and stumbled as well. So, no, OP didn't deserve it for being nervous.

There's no reason to be nervous when you're getting pulled over for no reason. Even when I was getting pulled over for the first time, I was like wtf, but I wasn't nervous. I was more interested in why I was pulled over in the first place. If you just comply then you'll be fine (yes, even if the cop's a dick). It's not like the cops gonna tase you the minute you roll down your window and then beat you with his flashlight until you can't even recognize your own face. Haha one time a cop asked me if I thought he was born yesterday. I was like wtf. He pulled me over, asked for my ID, which I didn't have on me, which was wonderful. At the time we were in high school and me and a buddy were just cruising on a Thursday night, and the cop was asking me if we were going to the party. THE party. Like there was only one. I told him I didn't know there was a party going on, and we were just cruising around, and he asked me if I thought he was born yesterday. I was being honest, I had no idea what he was talking about haha. He then IDed my black passenger, which was total bullshit. The guy was a dick, but if you just sit back and take it for like 5 minutes it passes and nothing happens.

#20 you ever seen the video where the cop tased the 80 something year old women because she was "unruly"? the cops don't care who you are, they just are pricks

#55: SOME cops are pricks, not ALL cops. Cops are people just like you and I: some are good people, and some aren't.

That nasty old woman had it coming. Crazy old bitch shoulda stayed in her car.
gildedmuse 0
Can we take bets on #20 being a white straight guy? I mean, I suppose that he could, indeed, be a very naive she, but then since woman are pretty socialized to fear authority, especially male authority, I'm doubtful. I also suppose it's easier to think "you don't have to be nervous unless you've done something wrong!" when stories of rape, beatings, and arrests based on gender/sexuality/race are pouring in all the time. It must be nie, being able to simply breeze past those stories as not affecting you.

Well technically you can't get arrested for being high. You can only get arrested for the possession of the drugs.

Yeah, I have simmilar reactions too. I could never be taken seriously, and when I was I was either punished, got into a fight, or assumed being a lier.

That really sucks I'm sorry. I hope everything was okay eventually. A wierd question- do you have a mild form of schitzophrenia or ASPD at all? cause not to many people use the term "disorganized speech"
bexox 0
I think it's pretty safe to assume from the wording of this that the OP has some sort of nervous or psychological disorder.
aesculpius89 2
no he just found, probably on web md, big impressive sounding phrases to make "nervously laughed so much as to be completely incomprehensible" sound less pathetic
howardms 0
I don't see how this could have really happened. 1) They can't arrest you for being high, they can only arrest you if you are possession of it. 2) Sure you can get arrested for driving under the influence of something, but they have to do sobriety and field tests on you... They can't just arrested you ASSUMING that you were on something that you weren't.. If you DID in fact get arrested, then YDI for not knowing your rights. If you let that cop arrest you even though he had no evidence to back up what he was saying, then yeah... you are stupid.
XOfiestypixie 0
yes, but if he tried to use the excuse of knowing his rights, he would've had "resisting arrest" added on top.

Yes they can arrest you for only being under the influence of a narcotic. At least in California they can, and I'm sure in Oregon it's the same. If you get arrested for DUI of a controlled substance, you can also be charged with being under the influence of a controlled substance.

Question: If you smoke weed for medical reasons, can they arrest you for driving blazed? (In California)
shooter308 0
yes. yes they can. just like if you have a prescription for Vicodin or Percocet and drive. If you are impaired in any way, you can be arrested. The field sobriety test can be used for alcohol or drugs.
suxs4ulol 22
sometimes they do test at the station
