Today, I got pulled over for a busted tail light. The officer gave me a warning and told me to fix it. Ten minutes later I was pulled over again for the same busted tail light by the same cop. This time he wrote me a ticket. FML

Today, I got pulled over for speeding and got a $200 ticket. After I pulled away, I decided to warn the next car about the cop up ahead by flashing my headlights. The next car was another cop. He didn't appreciate my "help". FML

Today, I was driving home from work when I was pulled over by a cop. She asked why I was being pulled over and figuring she knew I said, "For swerving because of my alcohol problem." I had a broken tail light. FML

Today, I was tailgated by a car with his high beams on for an hour. Any time I changed my speed or lane, he would do the same. I finally managed to get away from him because a cop pulled me over and gave me a speeding ticket. FML

Today, a state trooper ticketed me after learning I was ticketed for the same offense an hour earlier, namely driving with a broken headlight. The good news is that both tickets will be dismissed if I go to court. The bad news is that I'd have to go to different courthouses at the same time of day. FML

Today, I was pulled over by a cop and was fined $210 for making an illegal u-turn. When the cop finished writing my ticket and hopped in his car, he made the same u-turn. FML

Today, I was driving home from work when I saw a cop come up behind me. Nervous about my expired license, I kept checking in my rear view mirror. In turn since I wasn't paying attention, I ran a stop sign. Needless to say the cop pulled me over and gave me 2 tickets. FML

Today, I got a speeding ticket. I wrote a check, and on the way to deposit my fine, I got another one. I put both fines in a box down town, and I turned around to see a cop putting a parking ticket under my wind-shield wiper. FML

How dare you not fix it in those ten minutes? That's painfully irresponsible of you.

Then you shouldnt be driving around with a busted light... How hard is it to fix a light anyway? In a lot of countries you need to carry spares so you can fix em on the spot if they're broken.

here in canada (most provinces) they give u 30 days to rectify the problem, once 30 days are up, you gotta go get ur car inspected to ensure u fixed the issues. (gone through it before with my rear passanger door handle, it was missing cause some asshole sideswiped me while i was parallel parked on main shopping : ppl are dicks)

That's an inspection order. It's different then a fix it notice. If you have something like a burnt out head light, the cop can give you as little or as much time as they want to have the problem amended. If you have a few things wrong with your car you get an inspection notice and have thirty days to fix it and get it inspected. Sorry for the spiel but wrong statements tick me off.

You are also NOT supposed to operate the vehicle until it's fixed. Guess you missed that part on the ticket. I work in a shop, we get a lot of irate idiots towed in after being caught driving a vehicle under a repair order.

I'm calling bullshit. Unless the cop in question has an issue with you, then he should be held accountable.

Also, quotas aren't real. Love all the ignorant comments.

Actually in Arkansas they are. Not officially but my partner who is currently a police officer has an unofficial quota she has to meet. It's like that everywhere.
