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.

DJ is actually right. If the cop does not have his/her lights on then they are consider a normal driver and have to follow ALL the same rules as the rest of traffic. And you CAN report cops for illegal driving as well. Because it's highly reckless of them. I've seen many cops past me going over 90 on the high way and if I would have change lanes they would have not had time to stop. I know if they are speeding over 10 of the limit. You can write their tag down and report them.

If the cop had enough time to ticket OP, then there was no emergency and the cop made an illegal U-turn.

You live in California, you should know better than to trust a cop any farther than you can throw him. YDI

the cop was probably instructed to go somewhere but it wasn't an actual emergency so he had time to pull you over. ydi, there's a reason u-turns are illegal.

That probably qualifies as entrapment.
