Today, I was pulled over by a police officer for speeding. After writing the ticket, he asked me why I was wearing a surgical mask. I told him that swine flu was found in our area and I was scared. He thought that I was insulting him and wrote me another ticket. FML

I'm guessing you actually said "pig flu", not "swine flu", didn't you?

Hilarious. I know a guy who has believed for over three years now that bird flu will bring the end of the world. Soon as I saw the news I sent him a message saying OMG - flu outbreak and this one's got ur name on it!

Swine flu is hardly dangerous at all, so there was no reason to wear a mask. But FYL because no policeman has the right to give out tickets for such a stupid reason.

YDI for thinking you can prevent swine flu with a mask. In fact, masks may even increase the risk of infection since you tend to adjust the mask with your hands, and touching your face is exactly what you should be avoiding.

You have a right to insult him he can't legally do that, he's abusing his power, and now you can challenge both and will probably get off. But umm all the people wearing surgical masks and shit stupid as hell. Those masks keep your germs from getting out, not others from getting in, for that you need a disposable respirator or dust mask. I find it funny how stupid some people are.

YDI for wearing a surgical mask. seriously, swine flu is NOT that big of a deal people!!!

Just what was the second ticket for and legally he can't do that. They can't write a ticket for feeling insulted for your responsibility of staying healthy. Any judge would throw that ticket out, at the very least, and may even throw out the speeding ticket.
