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
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I learned that making an illegal U-turn right after you see a cop doing one will not stop said cop from ticketing you. FML
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
Today, the car I was in got pulled over by the police for making an illegal turn. I was in a cab. And he kept the meter running. FML
Today, I got pulled over for a busted tail light. The officer gave me a warning and told me to fix it. Ten minutes later I was pulled over again for the same busted tail light by the same cop. This time he wrote me a ticket. FML
Today, I got a speeding ticket. I wrote a check, and on the way to deposit my fine, I got another one. I put both fines in a box down town, and I turned around to see a cop putting a parking ticket under my wind-shield wiper. FML
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, 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, 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 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 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

#98 is right, cops are legally allowed to do things that most other people can't. Like those U-turns on the interstates. Its slightly ironic but its 100% legal to do, it'll cost you more money to fight it and eventually lose in court.

90% of the time a police officer is responding to an emergency call they will drive with their lights and sirens off because they distract people.. they only turn them on when they need your attention to get you out of the way

You can't write him a ticket. but you can arrest him. Citizens arrest. You can arrest anybody if you know he's done something wrong, doing something wrong, or is about to do something wrong. But only if you can prove it...Which you can't. It's your word against a police officers word; you're not gonna win...

So, would someone please explain citizen's arrest to me? To me, it sounds like you would have to retain someone until someone of authority showed up, but doesn't seem like it would go down smoothly, haha.

You guys are idiots. The reason those u-turns are there is for cops, so they can get across lanes. You can't use them so they don't have traffic so emergency vehicles can get through.

idiots it's fake because if ip got pulled over for uturn then the cop would have had to makebthe uturn to pollo op over thus cat do it right after

Your forgetting that cops are above the law. They are there to "Serve and Protect" but guess what, they "Serve and Protect" the Law, not you. Also, emergency vehicles are exempted from signs like that in most cases.

boredatwork1234 0
only if their siren is on and they are on a call can a cop speed, run a light, or do illegal u-turns retard. There's a reason you aren't allowed to do u-turns there, because it's been deemed unsafe. Too bad these fat ass donut munching hypocrite pigs don't give a shit about the law or anyone's safety.

38 I'd arrest u in a heartbeat

i hate how some cops are hipocrites

After reading it again this seemed odd, People don't usually know exactly the cost of their ticket until they get a letter in the mail from the county. So maybe this is fake or OP just posted this until he got his letter and knew the price

#20 we dont get county tickets as there is no such thing. its a nsw cop and the law is law through the whole state. and its written on the ticket

yep, in australia the cop writes it on the spot. my husband got a $333 speeding ticket last week... ouch

55 no need to be a douche about it, I didn't notice it was in Australia. When I got my speeding ticket I didn't get an amount on it.I received a letter from the court (not county my bad) saying the amount that was due. Maybe it was just me that I didn't receive the amount I would owe right away, but that's why I thought people didn't know how much they would pay until they got the letter

some turns are not legal for civilians, the are for emergency vehicals only. learn the rules of the road before getting mad

if they have their lights on, stopping a citizen to issue a ticket is considered an emergency ! goverments need more money. in the usa the first 5 months of ALL your income goes to the government. taxes, fees, etc.

wher i come from its illegal to use handheld devices while driving. then one time i saw a cop using his cellphone while driving. they dont even follow their own rules.
SuiGeneris01 2
it's not their rules!!
boredatwork1234 0
again, only on an emergency call with lights and a siren can a cop break the law. Cops can't just do anything they want because they happen to be in a white car with lights idiot. You should learn the rules of the road.
RedPillSucks 33
It doesn't mean they wont. Cops will speed when they aren't on a call or will make turns others can't because, well, who's going to stop them? However, the OP is from Australia, so perhaps the laws there are different about what a cop can do.
runtodarkness 0
sometimes cops will rush to a call with their lights off if they don't want the people to know they are coming or it's just not completely necessary, see it all the time when cops come into my gas station on break

#29 At least in the USA, police are actually allowed to use cell phones, while civilians are not. It's not very well known, but it's true.

well if it was illegal then whyd you make it in the first place?? the cops a douche bag but that still doesnt exempt you, an average citizen, from the law. Next time, OP just dont do it.

yeah don't you love how they ticket you for speeding and then they zoom off down the freeway at 90 mph?
Laurendorcus 0
okay..if he pulled you over after a u-turn (lets say you turned west) then to have made the same u-turn he would have have to make 1 u-turn to go east then immediately do the u-turn you had done to go west again...meaning he went 360 degrees and you sat in your car watching him the entire time. thats odd.
mitsoi 0
a bit confusing way or wording, but I agree.... "he took the same u-turn" seems unlikely
boredatwork1234 0
Bingo. He didn't take the same u-turn, the OP is confused. I still don't doubt the cop is a douche bag and took an illegal u-turn though.
rohcky 0
agreed. op made up the last part for dramatic effect. you deserve it for not following the law and trying to garner sympathy by lying.

Meet the power of the law-enforcers. They know you cant do shit about it, but actually they need to be punched in the face. Without badge they're nothing, it's a shame to the cops who do their work right.
ImaginaryFoe 1
It doesn't sound like the officer did anything wrong. Would you also expect an ambulance to get ticketed for running a red light? On many separated highways, there are gaps in the barriers just for the police to make u-turns. Like it or not, there are a different set of road rules for emergency vehicles (RMPs, ambulances, fire engines, etc.).
Devolver 0
Yea but they're supposed to be used on emergencies, which this is clearly not.
