Traffic stop

Today, my brother found out that getting pulled over is technically getting arrested. Almost on cue, we got pulled over because my dad doesn't realize that "stop at a Stop sign" doesn't mean "slow down to a crawl, then go." My brother then started yelling, "WE'RE BEING ARRESTED!" At least the cop thought it was funny. FML

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

Same thing different taste

Getting pulled over is technically getting arrested? In what universe?

"I HOPE HE DOESN'T FIND THE BODY IN THE TRUNK!" I'm sure the cop would have found that hilarious.

In the universe where people read the dictionary definition of "arrest". It means "stop," so that is literally correct. They are not synonyms in the law. If you are under arrest, you are read your Miranda rights.

Jesus I never would’ve drawn that line, that is hilarious. Sounds like a joke a pedant made up and people are taking it and running with it. I guess technically I’m arrested every time I come to a complete stop at a stop sign. Get it? GET IT?!?!! The people running with this joke should...ahem...be arrested. I’ll stop now 🤣

getting pulled over has nothing to do with getting arrested, unless your younger brother is so awful that your dad staged the whole thing

Unless you're in California then it is the "Cali roll" 😀
