Cars, ACAB and Transportation: It wasn't me, officer

It wasn't me, officer

By wrongcar - 03/11/2009 18:00 - United States

Today, I was pulled over and was given a $300 ticket for going 90mph on a 70mph highway. The cop swore he saw my silver car darting in and out of traffic. A couple of minutes earlier that exact car had passed me while I was following the speed limit. FML

Today, I got pulled over for going 85mph in a 60mph zone on a highway in the Everglades. There were cars passing both the cop and me as I was being pulled over. The cop decided I was easiest to catch since I was the slowest of the bunch even though the other cars were topping 100mph. FML

Today, I was tailgated by a car with his high beams on for an hour. Any time I changed my speed or lane, he would do the same. I finally managed to get away from him because a cop pulled me over and gave me a speeding ticket. FML

Today, I got pulled over for going about 88mph. When the cop asked why I was speeding, I replied, "I was trying to go back in time". He didn't like that answer and gave me a ticket. FML

Today, being the new driver I am, I was trying to keep my speed at posted because I know that cops will target me. I ended up getting pulled over for my too-low speed and given a ticket because I was holding up a line of cars. FML

Today, I was on the way to traffic court for a $340 speeding ticket I'd got. My mother called me and I wasn't paying attention which caused me to speed. Right past a cop. When I told the cop where I was going, he started laughing at me. I now have another $300 ticket. FML

Today, I was going 73 in a 55 on a country road when an oncoming cop passed me. He pulled a U turn. I turned off the main road and took random turns. I got lost, was 30 minutes late to work, and the cop still found me and gave me two tickets. I had to ask him for directions. FML

Today, I got pulled over on the highway for going over the speed limit. The cop seemed nice, and I was sure he'd let me off with a warning, until my husband piped up with, "Didn't think you folks came out this far. What, the donut store got shut down or some shit?" I got the ticket. FML

Today, I got pulled over for speeding and got a $200 ticket. After I pulled away, I decided to warn the next car about the cop up ahead by flashing my headlights. The next car was another cop. He didn't appreciate my "help". 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

Today, I was tailgated on the highway. There was a car in the lane next to me, and my tailgater was WAY too close to risk slowing down, so I sped up in order to switch lanes, which bumped me over the speed limit. That's when my tailgater turned on the flashing lights. FML

take it to court, you could easily dispute your way out of it.

You could take it to court. Cop cars have a camera in the front windsheild and you could prove it wasnt your car with the license plate.

Unfortunately, it's the OP's word against the cop's, and everyone knows that cops are infallible gods among men.

It should be on the cops camera. Hopefully he caught the lisense plate number.

So the cop got make and model but not licence plate. Grounds to fight it surely. Any traffic cameras that might have caught the other guy?

You shouldn't have had road rage and chased the car that was weaving through traffic!

I had a cop tell me I failed to stop at a red light before turning right. I did stop, he was 100 yards back when I came to a full stop, then I inched forward to see around the cars to my left before going without coming to another full stop. Did I mention that this was 2/3 AM (Saturday night, would have been 3 AM DST but was 2 AM Standard time). No ticket, thankfully, but he did have a few choice words about my hat with the pot leaf embroidered on it.

I would like to point out that you can't go right on a red light if there is a car turning left in the same lane. From the way you said it I believe that's what you meant.
