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 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, 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

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 on the highway and a cop had his radar gun out. The woman in front of me panics and slams her brakes on, causing me to rear end her. The cop cited me for "tailgating" and I have to pay for the damages on both of our cars. FML

Today, I lost control of my vehicle while driving. The car went off the road, rolled over, and ended up being totaled. The policeman asked me if I was alright and I said I was. He seemed relieved at my answer. Then he handed me a $300 ticket for failing to maintain my lane. 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

Did the Watch Commander come out to investigate? Get a Good Lawyer, and subpoena ASAP the dashboard cam, radio transmission records, and cell phone records. That trooper should go to JAIL for perjury, for signing a knowingly false complaint.

You should go to jail for pretending you know the law. you really think they are going to allow you to subpoena all these records for a WOMAN DRIVER?? Hell no....

Actually polarbare, its easier for women. Short skirt + Low cut shirt = whatever the hell records they want. Didn't you watch Erin Brockovich ?

In Erin Brockovich, she lost a civil case for being a woman driver. She was also fired briefly because people assumed she was incompetent, mostly because of the way she dressed. Stereotypes work against people all the time, unfortunately.

I had a similar situation like this one. A cop crashed into me on my motorcycle, and tried to give me a ticket to make it seem like it was my fault. Instead of just taking the ticket and walking away, I made a scene, and eventally got his supervisor to come to come down. The ticket was torn up by the supervisor. Now a days, cops think they can do whatever they want without consequences. Just go to court, and sue his ass!!!!!!!

this doesn't surprise me in the slightest because about 95% of cops are abusive, powertripping scumbag assholes

Take it to court. Because it was his fault, he may not even show and since you have the right to face your accuser, you'd automatically get off. You'd stand a good chance to win the protest even without a lawyer.

lmao #63...it's bad enough when people talk like that so I'm glad you made fun of her for typing like that. As far as this FML goes I had a similar experience. I wrecked my car by hitting some gravel on a turn and driving into a ditch and I also got the "failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident" ticket. FOR DAMAGING MY OWN PROPERTY AND NOBODY ELSE'S. So I feel you pain but at least yours is contestable whereas mine was my word against his.
