Today, I was driving when I noticed that the guy in front was on the phone. I pulled up next to him, pulled out my phone and I made a gesture that he needed to put his phone away. It was a cop. I got a ticket for driving while on my cell phone. FML

Today, I was driving to work. I saw a cute boy in the car next to me. To try and look cool, I pretended I was talking on my cell phone. I got pulled over and got a ticket for using my cell phone while driving. FML

Today, I saw a car swerving in front of me on the freeway, so I whipped out my cell to report the DUI. As soon as it started ringing, I see police lights in my rear view and got slapped with a ticket for using a cell phone while driving. After explaining why, the officer said, "Nice try." FML

Today, I was driving home and got a phone call from my mom. She called to tell me that there was a cop at the bottom of our hill, and to be careful. I got a ticket for talking on my cell phone while driving. FML

Today, I was driving to work when a state trooper rammed into my car from behind, because he was on the cell phone and not paying attention. He gave me a ticket for "Failure to control speed to avoid a crash." FML

Today, while I was driving, a pedestrian gesticulated wildly at me for being on my phone. I was just tucking my hair behind my ear. FML

Today, I got pulled over for talking on my phone while driving. I'd lost my phone the day before. He didn’t believe me. So, I got a ticket for talking on a phone I can’t even find. FML

Today, while I was driving, a police officer jumped out from the sidewalk and into my lane. I slammed on the brakes so I wouldn't hit him. He then gave me a ticket for "obstructing traffic." FML

Today, I was driving on the freeway when I get a call from my friend explaining that our two best friends died in a car accident. I pulled over in hysterics and a cop came to see what was wrong. I explained what happened and he gave me a ticket for talking on the phone while driving. FML

Cops are above the law apparently.

Unless the car in front if you zig-zagged across lanes and became a danger to rest of you, I really don't see the reason to drive up to his side and gesture. If he was driving right on the speed limit while you were behind him, that means you actually passed it while driving to the side... Seems to me that you were the danger to the rest, but yeah FYL for not thinking about that and getting a ticket for a fake phone call gesture.

Who made you the phone cop OP? YDI for trying to push your beliefs on others...

Push his beliefs on others..? Not using your phone while driving is the *law*, not OP's opinion.

I don't think its the law everywhere. Although obviously it is where OP lives...

#29 beliefs have nothing to do with it, it's dangerous to have your phone out while driving, especially if you are texting...

If you're driving, you should probably MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS. Paying attention to other people is how accidents happen. Proof in point.

How the hell do you not know its a cop OP? Even undercovers still standout

I guess when you're driving maybe you should follow the simple guidelines: keep your eyes on the road, and focus on the space not the objects. If it isn't putting you at risk, you should just let it go.

Don't you know that cops are above the law until they cross a politician? I saw a cop driving and texting, change lanes without signaling, changing lanes in middle of an intersection, and there isn't a damn thing we can do about it.
