Today, I was pulled over. The cop stated that he "couldn't see" me because I had "blended in with the dark car background", and that it looked like no one was driving. I was literally pulled over for being black. 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, not because I was speeding but because apparently, I looked like a kid driving. The officer said I was too short to drive and needed a booster seat. 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 was pulled over because I looked like a possible suspect for a robbery. While searching me, the police's radio went off and the person on the other line said, "Possible suspect, 5'5", thin" - the officer stopped right then and murmured, "too short and fat" and walked back to his car. FML
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
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
Today, I was driving home from work when I was pulled over by a cop. She asked why I was being pulled over and figuring she knew I said, "For swerving because of my alcohol problem." I had a broken tail light. 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 was dancing in the passenger seat of my car with my family when a cop pulled us over. He thought I was trying to flag him down for help. I guess I'm not as good of a dancer as I thought. FML
Today, a cop pulled me over and asked if I knew why. I panicked and blurted out, "Because I just killed someone?" He just stared at me in disbelief and said, "No, because your taillight's out. Should I be concerned?" FML

Cops are so ignorant. And they say they "serve the community"

I hope you do realize that 1.) You're generalizing, a lot 2.) Next time you get mugged, let's see how stupid you think cops will be and 3.) Ignorant doesn't mean stupid, it means lacking knowledge in a certain topic (like you'd say a bad cook would be ignorant in cooking.) Who's the "ignorant" one now?

The fact that people are sticking up for the cop is ridiculous. Its his JOB. He was trained for things more advanced than seeing people in cars. And really? He PULLED OVER the vehicle because he thought it was being driven by itself? Yeah. That unmanned car will be sure to pull over. Good thinking. But sure enough if he said sorry at the end, an honest sorry since race was involved, then it's fine. And for anyone saying it could've been a kid. Yeah sure it could have, but the cop would've been able to see him. The child has to be somewhat visible for him to be even able to see out the windshield. Have a nice day.

Not sticking up for the cop, just not pulling the race card too soon. I think it was a stupid call on the officers part too. I have been pulled over for "fitting the profile" myself and the fact that I'm white, and I was driving a blue car on the highway at the time put me as the person that had to deal with it that day. If the officer couldn't see a driver, okay then. Cars do roll away unattended. Kids do steal vehicles. Drivers do duck down when cops drive by. Shit happens. The officer might have been looking out for other vehicles on the road, or he might have been being a racist prick. Only he knows. This is why some don't immediately assume racism. -Assumption is the mother ****** of all **** ups.

It says nothing about a ticket and it would be illegitimate to give him a ticket.
