Today, I pulled up to the stoplight near my house. It was dark with no traffic and the car behind me kept edging closer and closer to me. I finally got fed up with waiting and the car and ran it. In fact, it was a cop and he was trying to read my license plate because the back light was out. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after driving a few hours late at night I decided to entertain the car tailgating me by not letting him pass. After doing this for 3miles, reaching 93MPH, I decided to let the car pass me. When I switched lanes, the car tailgating me light up in red and blue. It was a cop. FML
Today, the car in front of me was going slow and I flashed my lights and honked. I floored it and passed the car, flipping off the driver. Just as I went around the next corner, I got pulled over by a motorcycle cop. A few seconds later, the guy I flipped off drove by honked and waved. FML
Today, I was tailgated by a car with his high beams on for an hour. Any time I changed my speed or lane, he would do the same. I finally managed to get away from him because a cop pulled me over and gave me a speeding ticket. FML
Today, a stoplight turned yellow as I was approaching it. I was about to go through but saw a cop, panicked, and slammed on the brakes. I ended up in the middle of the intersection and had to reverse. Soon the light turned green, and I stepped on the gas. My car was still in reverse. FML
Today, some aggressive asshole was tailgating me on my way home, bumping into me twice. I got scared and kicked my car into high gear and got out of there. Seconds later, a traffic cop came out of nowhere and pulled me over for speeding. FML
Today, I pulled up to an intersection behind a car waiting to turn left and we missed a whole set of lights. As I was getting frustrated that they weren’t going when the light was green, I realised I was waiting behind a parked car. FML
Today, I got rear ended. The guy flashed his lights at me to pull over, so I pulled into the side of the road. He drove away. FML
Today, I got pulled over for speeding and got a $200 ticket. After I pulled away, I decided to warn the next car about the cop up ahead by flashing my headlights. The next car was another cop. He didn't appreciate my "help". FML
Today, I pulled up next to my boyfriend at a stoplight. He was in the back of a police car. 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

And this is why I don't like cops, they should respect the common rules of the road like other people unless they have their lights on.

I love all the idiots on here saying that you should be able to notice what a cop car looks like. Are y'all that dense? Cop cars are not all ways the ones with the lights. They have unmarked cars also, for various reasons but they have them. How do we know the cop wasn't in one, which to me would make this story a lot more plausible. I highly doubt the OP is that stupid. It's dark, come one people! And looky all the hypocrites came out, they all want to condem the OP for doing something I'm pretty sure all of y'all would do. If y'all are saints when driving that is pretty much the only way you aren't hypocritical at this moment. OP: Eh, that sucks. I think you can try to get out of that though. FYL, for sure.

Don't cops pull you over first and then read the license plate?

Wouldn't the cop pull him over for a broken back light, as opposed to just trying to read his license plate?

That cop is a ******* asshole, because the way I read it, he was just trying to give you a ticket without you even knowing about it. That's why the broken tail light ticket is so stupid. You can't control when a brake light goes out, so shouldn't they just warn you instead of taking more money from you than it would cost just to fix the ******* thing? I really don't get the law sometimes.

#43... you're saying that all of us would run a red light because someone was inching closer to us at a red light? you've got to be ******* stupid to think that. so ******* what if they were inching, as if it really puts you in danger. if they'd gotten out of their car, THEN you would have legitimate reason to go, otherwise you're just being a dipshit. i'm not exactly sure though why a cop would want to get the license plate of a car ahead of them for a broken tail light when A: how ******* hard is it to read a license plate? and B: why would they even want to do it then? what if the light turned green in the middle of writing it down? completely stupid if that was actually the case. i will give you the benefit of the doubt though because regardless if it was a regular cop car, at night i can see it plausible to not be able to see the outline or lights on top if there wasn't really any lighting on the street let alone if their headlights were visible thus cutting your ability to see them. for the general concept of it, i say YDI (which is how i voted), but it could've been handled better by the cop. i hope you can get out of it :) and #50, i totally agree with you on that one too, i have heard though of cops giving warnings about headlights or tail lights, but if he WAS giving OP a ticket, i think they need to be pulled over for it...
