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 :-(

even if it was illegal for him he thinks he's above the law. but most places emergency vehicles are authorized to make u turns

That wont work. Most judges will give the cop the benefit of the doubt.

you seem surprised. ever heard the phrase "do as I say not as I do"

If he was responding to an emergency call, I don't think he would've had time to give OP a citation.

damn pigs think they're above the law

If you knew the sign was there or saw that it was there, then regardless, it was illegal for you AND THE COP, to make that u-turn. Unless they have their light on, they are required by law to follow all the same laws as any other driver. If you a cop speeding, especially on the highway, with no lights flashing, you can follow said cop. Its considered 'Moving With The Flow Of Traffic'. If you're doing the speed limit, but everyone else in front, back and side if you are driving faster, even though you are technically following the law, you can be fined for 'Impeding The Flow Of Traffic'. So, dont do everything a cop does, but most stuff is perfectly fine...as long as their lights are off!!!
