ACAB and Miscellaneous: Don't dick around with those guys

Don't dick around with those guys

Today, I was chilling out with my friend in a parking lot, when a police officer came up to the vehicle and suspiciously asked what we were up to. My friend sarcastically said, "Uh, doing drugs? Planning a drive-by? Haha!" We soon found ourselves in the back of a cop car. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, I parked next to a police officer's car in a bad part of town. When I got out, I saw a bag of pot on the ground between the cop's car and mine. When I pointed it out to him, he insisted it was mine and interrogated me to the point of tears. FML

Sketchy

Today, some friends and I were pulled over on our way back from a party. We'd had a few drinks, so we tried to play it cool just in case we were over the limit. The cop didn't seem to want to breathalyze us, until my really high friend in the backseat said, "These are not the droids you are looking for." FML

What we do in the shadows

Today, I discovered that sitting in the back of your car from 8 to 9 p.m. talking with a friend in a park area is suspicious enough behavior to have cops called on you, then for backup to arrive. FML

Today, after taking my crush to the train station late at night, I sat in a local park alone with my thoughts for a while. Two cops appeared out of nowhere and started searching me for drugs and weapons, asking me questions for a good 30 minutes. Not the kind of action I expected tonight. FML

Suspicious activity

Today, my BFF and I put our kids on the bus, and went shopping and have lunch. We were both eating a gross amount of Taco Bell sitting in the middle of the parking lot. The cops pulled up. Someone had called them, saying we were doing drugs because of the way we were sitting. FML

Today, we were out smoking a bit of spliff just walking around. We saw a place to sit down in this little car park we were walking past. The cops came over and busted us. Turns out we were in the main car park for the cop shop. FML

Today, I was bored and decided it would be fun to pretend to be an undercover cop and pull over other cars. The first car I pulled over was a real undercover cop. FML

High performance, high risk quipping

By Anonymous - 29/04/2024 08:00 - United Kingdom

Today, a police officer pulled me over while I was riding my high performance motorbike. He asked if I knew why he'd pulled me over. It was too tempting to resist at the time, but in hindsight telling him ,“Because I let you?” was not the best idea I’ve ever had. Cops have no sense of humour. FML

Today, I was on a date with someone I've had a crush on for a long time. It was after midnight, we were chatting in the car and I was close to having my first kiss ever. That is, until a bunch of policemen popped up to arrest my date for being a suspected drug dealer. FML

Today, my boyfriend and I were fooling around in his car when things got hot and heavy and we decided to climb in the back. After we finished we started to put our clothes back just as a someone's brights flooded into the car. It was a cop, and he had been there the entire time. FML

With al the cop stories I'm reading about on this site, I think it's safe to say that the police have zero sense of humour.

Cops don't get sarcasm. So just tell them you are doing nothing

It's not that they don't get it, they're trained not to take a chance. That cop could have gotten in a lot of trouble if they did indeed do a drive by or something, got caught, and another cop found out he let them go because he thought they were "joking". It wasn't that he didn't get the sarcasm, he just couldn't take the chance without possibly risking other's lives, and his job.

Don't joke around with police, they HAVE to take that stuff seriously, even if it is obviously a joke.

Your friend did admit to doing illegal stuff defiantly grounds for that and I understand the cop reacting in such a way. You never know

After that night,his friend became dark and bitter. Now he waits in his room every Friday, waiting for people to ask him what he's doing. He stares out the window and says, "Nothing"

Some people don't realize that sarcasm is the last thing you wanna do in front of police officers or any kind of authority. A friend of my parents was traveling to the US in the 90's, and, after his suitcase was x-rayed, the airport security stopped him and asked about a suspicious looking package that they had seen on the screen. I don't remember what it was that the guy had (probably a tin of biscuits), but when questioned about it he said "why, it's obviously a bomb!" He was thrown ASAP in jail. Thankfully, as a diplomatic officer, he didn't stay for long, but it surely taught him a lesson.
