One stop cop shop

By Triumvirate - This FML is from back in 2010 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I learned that making an illegal U-turn right after you see a cop doing one will not stop said cop from ticketing you. FML

Just because the cop was being reckless doesn't mean you should be.

Cops get away with all. you just ha to learn that the hard way :-(

u r so dumb! th polices job is to get people breaking th law!! you saw a police man so why th hell would you do something illegal!!?! Thts like going to police station and murdering someone in front of th watching police

You know what's also dumb? Leaving the "e" off the end of "the" repeatedly.

maybe his E key sticks after the T and the H are typed. (ok, that was a fail)

Guys I think 47 is trying to communicate

I hate people who think they can do what a cop does. Smh. YDI!

Am I the only one who thinks that "smh" is one of the dumbest internet terms?

Did no on tell you cops are above the law, not meant to follow it. Just to make sure you do.

cops get away with it. you don't. any questions?

there was a fml like this a long time ago. stop copyinng fmls !

Yeahhh...cops get to do that sort of thing. Similar thing happened to me, though. When I was a freshman in college, I wasn't familiar with the roads on campus and didn't realize that the one leading to my dorm was a one way (neither did ANYONE. Super dangerous.) I made a U-Turn, and apparently there was a cop RIGHT behind me. Not only did he see me do the U-Turn, but I almost hit his car. Busted. Luckily he was forgiving and only gave me a ticket for the U-Turn, not for almost killing him. Fail on me.

there wasnt even any "One Way" signs??

There was ONE, and it wasn't exactly in plain sight. I could have argued the whole "new to the campus" thing, but almost hitting the cop kinda ruined my chances lol. I had just gotten my license...At least I can say that was the only idiotic mistake I've made in a car. :P

wow and this is why i hate cops because he still has to aply by the law who cares if you have a ******* bage id fight tht shit

The OP still did something illegal, there's nothing to contest. Also emergency vehicles have different rules. Not to say that it doesn't occasionally get abused, but you wouldn't get upset that a fire truck ran through a red light if it was trying to get to your burning apartment.
