Souvenir

By killerxdeagles - This FML is from back in 2014 but it's good stuff - United States - Wichita

Today, I was t-boned and my truck was rendered useless. I was given a ticket even though the man who hit me ran a red light. Why? Because there was dirt on my license plate. FML

Because everyone knows it's super easy to keep your car clean in the summer. What a dick. Sorry, op, and glad you're okay!

Just to confirm: did you get A ticket (for a dirty plate) or THE ticket (you were named the gulty party of the accident)? Because #2 is bogus, and you should get a lwayer while eyewitnesses can still remember anything. Whearas IMHO YDI #1- keep the license plate clean.

Update: I have gone to court to fight the ticket and I ran into (pun intended) the guy who hit me who proceeded to get in my face and yell at me and threatening me with legal action. It turns out the officer is good friends with the guy who hit me, which is why I was given a ticket. There's an internal investigation being conducted and the Magistrate deemed the ticket void

Good for you! Hope the jerks, officer and crony, both pay for it.

Another detail. I was a Cadet with my local department and have been through 2 academies so I knew that something fishy was going on. I'm currently awaiting a summons to testify against the officer

Tell me again how the dirt on your license plate prevented him from seeing the traffic light?

So wait, the guy got off on hitting you because the responding officer was his buddy? yeah that'll hold up in court /sarcasm Hope you won your case
