Transportation, Cars, ACAB and Cops: Am I being detained?

Am I being detained?

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2015 but it's good stuff - Canada - Chilliwack

Today, a police car hit my parked vehicle, likely due to icy road conditions. When the officer came over to talk to me, I assumed it was to give me his insurance information. Nope. It was to give me a ticket for "impeding a police officer." My car was in my driveway. FML

Today, while I was driving, a police officer jumped out from the sidewalk and into my lane. I slammed on the brakes so I wouldn't hit him. He then gave me a ticket for "obstructing traffic." FML

Today, a policeman pulled me over and proceeded to flirt with me. After I had rejected him, he gave me a ticket for "not paying attention to the road". FML

Cops don't do jokes

Today, a police officer pulled me over. He asked me where I was headed, so I jokingly replied, "Probably to jail after you run my name". He laughed and took my information, only to then arrest me for unpaid parking tickets I never received. FML

Today, I crashed into a pole on purpose as a cop pulled me over for speeding. I figured the officer would feel bad for me and that the cost of fixing my car would be less than a ticket. He gave me one anyway. 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

Overreach

By VroomVroom - 04/03/2009 15:50 - United States

Today, at a red light, an old lady crossing the street fell right in front of my car. I got out of my car to help her. The light turned green and I was still helping the woman to her feet. An officer came by and ticketed me for "impeding the flow of traffic." FML

Potholing

By limpdick9 - 19/11/2014 18:44 - United States - San Francisco

Today, a cop car was tailing me. I was scared, and trying to avoid any tickets, I drove straight through a huge pothole rather than swerving to avoid it. The cop pulled me over and insisted I was intoxicated, because, "anybody in their right mind would've dodged that pothole." FML

Today, I went to my car to discover a note on the windshield from the city telling me that they had hit my car. On top of that note was a parking ticket, also from the city. FML

Today, I was given a ticket for running a red light. The reason? I was moving out of the way of an ambulance. The police officer watched it go by. FML

Today, I got a speeding ticket. I couldn't find my insurance card, and the cop was very nice. He said not to worry about it, that I "looked like someone who had insurance." I'm not sure how to take that. FML

Get a lawyer and sue him. It's highly unlikely that anything else would be successful.

A cop once pulled over my teen daughter and gave her a hard time for not dimming her brights fast enough when she topped a slight hill and he was on the other side. She was flustered and couldn't find her insurance. The idiot gave her a ticket but had the wrong vehicle info! We HAD to go to court because we couldn't provide insurance for a car we didn't own!

God. I feel like all you ever hear about cops is how they're all huge dicks all the time. Sorry OP :(

Because good news doesn't sell papers, or make a dramatic news report or a successful FML.

This would be one of those instances I would highly recommend you get a lawyer to help defend you on this, and bring charges on a dirty cop.

Talk to the police chief. This happened to a friend and the chief resolved it, by revoking the ticket and screaming at the officer.

Agreed. Unless you have reason to believe the entire department is corrupt steel one should be to file a complaint.

All of my friends from Canada always brag about the good and friendly police force they got. I guess you can find jerks anywhere you go, no matter the country. Fight the ticket OP.
