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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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

He fumbled on his excuse because he was distracted by your hand being down your pants. But hey, it's better than him actually citing you for going '80 in a 65'.

I would file a complaint. Pulling you over because he couldn't see the damn driver? It's not like cars drive themselves. File a complaint with the precinct. Then get the guy's badge number, and go to every damn news station you possibly can find. Make an image on facebook for everyone to share. That asshole deserves to be publicly humiliated.

I think a complaint is good enough. Not being able to see the driver of a moving vehicle is a legit reason to pull over the car. It could mean the driver is bending down while driving or a child is trying to drive. To go that far is little bit too much. Especially when there's other officers doing much worse than this one.

Iknoweverything- you seem like the type to overreact. Glad you weren't the police officer or the poor driver might have gotten shot!!

It wasn't racist. I think the police officer had a legitimate concern that the car may have been driven by a child or was coasting on its own as a runaway. It's unfortunate that it seems like profiling, but if this happened to me, I would have tried to understand a little more than you.

For what?

17 - If he thought it was a child, fair enough. However, if he reckoned it was a runaway car what did he hope to accomplish by trying to make it pull over?

Racism! You should've reported the cop to the local police station.

I don't like people like you. Police officers are, for the most part, noble men and women attempting to protect ungrateful jerks like you. I know police officers, and the stress of their job is extreme; I could never handle it.
