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

That cops an ass

What does copping an ass have to do with a guy getting pulled over?

I've heard "cops a feel", but I guess "cops an ass" is much more direct. OOOOOHH! You meant the cop IS an ass! Apostrophes make all the difference my friend.

Damnit 61! You beat me to it!:P

That's hilarious! *the cop* "OMG! It looks like no one is in that car! Let me put on my lights and see if it moves...." If no one was in the car, how on earth does he expect to maintain a normal speed? Ridiculous!

A small child could be driving it. The driver could've been sleeping, bent over. Both have been known to happen, and in both instances, the drivers have maintained normal speed. And then you have to take into consideration that it was probably night, and thus dark and much harder to see, even with headlights on.

I doubt if someone was sleeping, they would be able to keep a normal speed let alone stay on the road. The child I could see, but then again if they are that short seeing over the steering wheel would be rather difficult. So, you wouldn't expect a child to be able to stay on the road very well either.

As I said, it's happened. People who are asleep while driving have remained at a constant speed, and stayed on the road; children as well.

You pull someone over cause you think no one is driving? How is that an honest mistake?

60 - So an un-manned, remote controlled car without a driver is safe? he probably suspected it was being driven remotely for illegal purposes.

If he really thought no one was driving how did he expect the car to pull over?

After visiting FML regularly for nearly three years, this is by far the funniest thing I have read on here. Nearly literally spit my coffee all over my keyboard reading the last line. OP sorry you experienced some asshole being racist - that part sucks - but the situation itself is ******* hilarious. Made my day

All I could do when I read this is laugh... Literally!
