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 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 was driving on the freeway when I saw a car in front of me swerving across 3 lanes of traffic. Thinking he might be drunk, I dialed 911 on my phone, but I dropped it. I fished under my seat to get it, swerving, and got pulled over by highway patrol and given a field sobriety test. 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, 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, 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

Suspicious

Today, I pulled over because my cell phone was ringing, as it's now illegal to use in a car. I finished the call when a motorcycle cop on side of road pulls up behind me and comes over. The reason? "You pulled off the road and it was suspicious, then I ran your plate…" FML

why didn't you just show him the last number dialed on your phone? I'm sure that a cop would know the local police phone number

It probably wasn't a DUII driver...it was probably just a person using their cell phone, just like you. I see it all the time, especially with texters.

OP can contest the ticket and show the phone history as proof. If the number is 911 they'll drop it. If it's something else I'm not sure.

Wtf is wrong with you people? He's being a "jerk" and a "snitch" for trying to report a dangerous driver that could have caused a car accident killing a LITTLE KID? Drunk driving isn't a joke, I know people who have died to it -.-. Sure, it's not certain that the guy was drunk, but whatever his problem was, if he was swerving all over the road he should have got pulled over. The police officer is an idiot for not pulling the other guy over instead, unless another cop pulled him over. As to OP, sorry man, that sucks =(.

In 2008, California banned the use of cell phones while driving, and in 2009, texting while driving was also banned. (see V C Section 23123 Hand Held Wireless Telephone Prohibited Use) There is a little detail that applies here: (c) This section does not apply to a person using a wireless telephone for emergency purposes, including, but not limited to, an emergency call to a law enforcement agency, health care provider, fire department, or other emergency services agency or entity.

you're an idiot and you deserved this! you should have either used hands free or pulled over, just because someone else is doing something illegal doesn't give you the right to do something illegal too.
