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 :-(

if the cop jumped off a bridge, would you do it too?

Whenever someone asks me if my friend jumps off a bridge Would I? My response is that if my friend jumped off a bridge they would have a damn good reason and I should probably follow. Like we are being chased by Michael ******* Myers

cops have a right to do illeagal stuff. FOR THE SAKE OF OUR LIVES!

I don't usually like to say that people deserved it, but I think that in this case you do. I'm not sure about the area in which you live, but around here almost all of the turn around areas (u-turn lanes) state whether it is legal or not. Mostly all of the illegal u-turn lanes have a sign on or below it that says "authorized vehicles only". I know because I am a fireman and those u-turns are supposed to be for us, police, ambulance, and state and county work vehicles. Though, I remember a bad wreck out on the highway last week where there was an emergency u-turn lane right before the accident scene, and all the motorists were trying to use it to their own benefit when there was probably eight or ten cops just a few feet ahead. Traffic laws are in effect to make the roads safer for everyone on them. Be sure to follow them.

Cops have the right to do a U-turn if it is absolutely necessary. That's a no-brainer. You fail.
