Today, I saw someone drive recklessly as if they were drunk. When I called the cops, I got pulled over by another cop for talking on my cell phone. 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 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 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 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

High speed car chase

Today, I called 911 to report a drunk driver. The operator yelled at me for following the guy and told me to get off the phone because I shouldn't be driving with a phone to my ear. 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 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

That sucks man. I'm sure if you explain to the judge they should drop the ticket or at least the fee partially.

As much as I hate when people talk on their cell phones while driving, I have to admit that billboard is horribly misleading in that case. I agree, FYL.

Did you explain the situation? You were doing the right thing.

You should be able to plead not guilty to that and explain what happened to a judge for at least a partial reduction.

I agree with other people. Try and fight it. You were reporting a drunk driver like the billboard said. It's bullshit that you got pulled over and received a ticket (though I, too, hate it when people talk on their phones while driving).

TO HELP YOU: Contest the ticket in court using the defense "Mistake of fact," and you will be let off free :)

I'd just ignore it next time, do you really think the cops would want to scope out the road for someone who MIGHT be intoxicated? You're cuttin into their valuable dunkin' donuts time! If they planned that, it's actually pretty ingenius, if they gave you a ticket there must be a cellphone law in your state that you should know about, and they put in a billboard telling you to report people on the phone, what a great way to create some revenue :P I guess the moral of the story is...Stop Snitchin!

Psh. All of you saying that the cop should have pulled over the other driver... How do you know that the other driver was still around? Maybe as soon as he got on the phone, the other driver turned off on a side road and then the cop pulled onto the road. Shit happens. FYL
