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 learned that making an illegal U-turn right after you see a cop doing one will not stop said cop from ticketing you. FML

Today, I was going 73 in a 55 on a country road when an oncoming cop passed me. He pulled a U turn. I turned off the main road and took random turns. I got lost, was 30 minutes late to work, and the cop still found me and gave me two tickets. I had to ask him for directions. FML

Today, the car I was in got pulled over by the police for making an illegal turn. I was in a cab. And he kept the meter running. FML

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 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

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, a cop rear-ended me. Then I received a ticket from him for driving too far under the speed limit. We were in a school zone. 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 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 pulled over by a motorcycle cop for speeding in a 25 MPH zone. As the cop was walking towards my car, I flicked my cigarette butt out of my window. So, the cop did me the pleasure of writing me two tickets instead of one. FML

I almost T-boned a cop once because he ran a red light without his lights on, which means he did it for no reason and I ended up in the ditch!

some cops are dicks like that but you shouldn't have made that u turn. here's some advice, before doing anything like that make sure there are no cops around!

I think you should take this one to traffic court. The right judge might well be inclined to dismiss it or at least to greatly reduce your fine. #199, that was awful, and I'm glad are here to tell us about it. But it could have been that the incident happened because he didn't want to broadcast that he was after someone or (less likely) maybe you were in a hospital zone at the time.

i can't tell if this is sarcasm or not. if it is, then sarcasm fail. if you're talking about the US, no they cannot just willy nilly pull that stuff. cops are not above the law, save for emergency situations. i once had a cop pull me over for not using my turn signal, the same turn i didn't use it on he also failed to use the signal. no ticket for it, but it's still an example of the way cops think they can do anything and (more often than not) get away with it
