Transportation: Today, I found out my grandpa died. As I rushed home crying...

Today, I found out my grandpa died. As I rushed home crying to comfort my parents, I got pulled over for speeding. The officer told me to cut out the "fake" tears". When I told him my grandpa just died he tacked on another $100 for lying to an officer. Worst. Christmas. Ever. FML

Today, I was on the way to traffic court for a $340 speeding ticket I'd got. My mother called me and I wasn't paying attention which caused me to speed. Right past a cop. When I told the cop where I was going, he started laughing at me. I now have another $300 ticket. 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

Today, I was sitting at home when the police knocked on my door. They came inside, sat me down and told me that both my parents died in a car crash tonight. I started to cry, but about 10 minutes later, I find out they had the wrong person. I feel bad for the other guy. FML

Today, I crashed into a pole on purpose as a cop pulled me over for speeding. I figured the officer would feel bad for me and that the cost of fixing my car would be less than a ticket. He gave me one anyway. FML

Today, I got pulled over for speeding. I tried to make a joke to ease the tension and said, "I’m just trying to keep up with the traffic!" The officer looked around at the empty road and said, "What traffic? Are you under the influence? HANDS ON THE WHEEL!" It went downhill from there. FML

Today, I was pulled over and was given a $300 ticket for going 90mph on a 70mph highway. The cop swore he saw my silver car darting in and out of traffic. A couple of minutes earlier that exact car had passed me while I was following the speed limit. FML

Great move

Today, I got pulled over for speeding. Knowing how much more it would cost in the long run, I handed the officer my license with $300 in cash, "as something to consider for just a warning." He came back with a ticket and verbally warned me that police bribery is a felony. He kept the money. FML

Today, I got pulled over for going a few miles per hour over the speed limit. The cop asked for my license and registration. I happened to look down at my wallet while he was processing everything and saw my license in my wallet. I gave the cop my fake I.D. FML

Today, I was driving my grandpa to the store because his car is in the shop. I was well within the speed limit, but he kept yelling at me for "speeding", then accused me of trying to give him a heart attack, and eventually pulled the e-brake, getting us rear-ended. He refuses to apologise. FML

Today, I was driving with my grandma and she was going 30 over the speed limit. To slow her down, I said, "Hey look, the police". She slammed on the brakes so hard I hit my head on the dashboard. FML

Except... you don't get fined for lying to an officer simply BECAUSE they can't know what's a lie and what isn't.

There is no such thing as a law for lying to a cop in the U.S. The only time you can get jammed up for lying is when you are under oath, it's called perjury. But the cop is right. You are a liar, you made this story up.

actually you can be charged with lying to a police officer, but its an arrestable offense, meaning you would be arrested, not issued a citation or a fine, thus proving that the story is bullshit.

Well what you can do is contest the ticket and then produce your grandfathers death certificate.

to 69, there is no traffic charge for lying - correct; however, it IS a criminal offense to knowingly give a false statement to a police officer. remember balloon boy's parents? they just got convicted of it!

Don't just take it to court. Take it to the press. Give the TV station and the local newspaper a call--and make sure you spell ossifer's name right!

maybe you can fight the ticket. Right a letter to the people and you shouldnt have to pay it. My mom would sometimes get tickets for double parking my mom would blame it on a low blood sugar problem and that she had to rush in to get food. She got out of it by sending a letter stating it.
