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!

i'm not sure that a cop can give you a ticket for an insult. we flip off our police all the time cause we were told the can't do anything about it.

there not allowed to do that... so if this IS true u obviously can fight it

Did you think that the swine flu was chasing you or something?

OP Here. The ticket wasn't for insulting a police officer but for "Driving with obstructed vision" even though the mask did not cover my eyes at all. The reason I was wearing a surgical mask in my car was because I had just been in an area with lots of people and there have been cases of swine flu around where I live.

As an FYI, surgical masks do not stop viruses. A virus is much smaller than the holes in the mask material. Only idiots think that they can stop viruses.
