Today, I was going 73 in a 55 on a country road when an oncoming cop passed me. He pulled a U turn. I turned off the main road and took random turns. I got lost, was 30 minutes late to work, and the cop still found me and gave me two tickets. I had to ask him for directions. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was driving home from work when I saw a cop come up behind me. Nervous about my expired license, I kept checking in my rear view mirror. In turn since I wasn't paying attention, I ran a stop sign. Needless to say the cop pulled me over and gave me 2 tickets. FML
Today, I was pulled over by a cop and was fined $210 for making an illegal u-turn. When the cop finished writing my ticket and hopped in his car, he made the same u-turn. FML
Today, I was pulled over and was given a $300 ticket for going 90mph on a 70mph highway. The cop swore he saw my silver car darting in and out of traffic. A couple of minutes earlier that exact car had passed me while I was following the speed limit. FML
Today, a cop rear-ended me. Then I received a ticket from him for driving too far under the speed limit. We were in a school zone. 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, 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, a cop pulled me over because there was a sign hidden behind a tree that said "No left turn". As I was getting my ticket, I watched as three cars turned left. The cop saw them, laughed, and said, "I guess you're the unlucky one." FML
Today, I was on the way to traffic court for a $340 speeding ticket I'd got. My mother called me and I wasn't paying attention which caused me to speed. Right past a cop. When I told the cop where I was going, he started laughing at me. I now have another $300 ticket. 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, I was driving down a completely empty street when a cop pulled me over for no reason at all. When he approached my window, I began to get defensive until he informed me I was driving the wrong way down a one way street. FML

Never EVER try to outrun a cop, I have once, big mistake, they always find you....but hey we all do it once. I hate cops,they ******* irritate me, they create useless situations like this, you drive 18 over on some random road, not even endangering anyone and they follow you as if you're a criminal...oh and then take your hard earned money, in which they already take a massive amount of through taxes, most of them are assholes too.

#5, Yes they can. BUT I don't think this is real. Why? Because if someone sees a cop turn to follow them and they then EVADE the officer, then your "running" from him which would mean handcuffs. You wouldn't get "two tickets" because you tried to avoid being pulled over... you'd be told to get out of the car and lie facedown while the cop searched your car to try and find out WHY you were running from him.

74... how old are you? Im guessing either a male or a teen if you think speeding that fast isn't that big of a deal. You obviously don't live in LA county where there have recently been MULTIPLE deaths do tos peeding. And I dont mean the person driving. A ton of people have recently been HIT by drivers that were texting, speeding, drunk, etc. I can understand pulling 10 over. And I can even understand speeding. But if you get pulled over then that is YOUR FAULT, not the cops. You dont want to "give up your hard earned money" then don't speed. Its not the cops fault you drive like a jackass. They're just doing their job.

OH and no we don't ALL do it once. IDIOTS do it. Not Intelligent people. You run from the cop, you're evading the law, which gets you much more than a ticket. Idiot. Seriously.

73 in a 55 isn't even bad. In fact, driving on the Long Island Expressway every day in New York, thats the average speed of the road. Its a 55. Cop was a dick.

cops cannot legally follow you for after more than 3 turns unless you're being pursued, but they can't simply follow you around for several random turns, you should bring that up in court.

You fought the law, and the law WON.

#79 - so what is to say they weren't pursueing them? and where are you getting that information. Thats like people saying cops can't follow you for more than x amount of miles before pulling you over. Most of that is just rumored hearsay and bogus. AND I can assure you - if you brought a cop to court because he "followed you for too many turns" You'd STILL be the dumbass in trouble... For evading a police officer. Bottom line - if a cop is trying to pull you over... and you dont... no matter how many times you "TURN" they'll more likely than not consider it evading and it WILL be come a pursuit.

#74, its not evading an officer unless he has his lights on and is about to pull you over. duh.

78 - no.. 18 miles an hour OVER a speedlimit is a lot. And you can't use NY as a basis for driving. You guys have been voted the second worse drivers in the nation for how many years? Based on road rage, aggression, speeding, etc. If it were 5-10 over that would be no big... 15 is speeding... anything after that is insane. And its different in each state, but I would start driving slower if I were you. The law permits a 15 day jail sentence for 11 MPH over the speed limit in the state of NY.
