19 Stupid Reasons Cops Used to Pull Someone Over

9.

My husband used to get pulled over by the redneck cops in the town we have to go through to get home some times when he was coming home from work at 2am. They would profile him because he wears his hat backyards and kind of leans back in his seat and he has hip hop music on (but not so loud that it could bother others plus usually no one else is on the road).

i pulled inside a parking lot on my way home because there was a terrifying bug in my car. cops usually wait there to catch people speeding, as it’s right on the side of main road. now, as a twenty year old female, i was visibly shaken by the whole insect experience and just wanted to get out of my car. some car pulled in, i pulled out, whatever. not paying attention. but when i left, a cop in an unmarked black van followed and stopped me, telling me that i looked suspicious because i left just as he came in. the stress of my first time dealing with a cop and being attacked by a bug culminated in me panicking, showing him the envelope i swatted the stupid thing with, literally putting my hands above my head to show him that it had creepy antennae, and offering for him to smell my shirt because he told me i smelled like alcohol (i work in a bar).

I got pulled over for not using turn signal when switching lane at 2 in the morning.

My friend came to pick me up and honked outside, cop was passing by and turned around. Wrote my friend a ticket for that, said horns are for emergencies only.

Cops pulled me over at like midnight after prom, right before after prom party. They pulled me over said my plates did not match my car and that I had stolen the plates. They rechecked and said everything was fine ( I was in a different province) but they knew I was lost because I left the light in my car on to look at a map.

I was unsure why i was pulled over, when I then start to hear the cop screaming at me over his car’s PA system to slowly get out of the car and then move backwards towards him with my hands in the air. Then I was handcuffed and placed in the back of his car, he went and searched my vehicle. I could see him walking back towards his car looking very red in the face and embarrassed. The cop begins to profusely apologize saying he had received a phone call from another motorist saying that someone in a car matching my description was seen drinking a 32oz. beer in the open while driving. When the cop searched my car, he found the supposed “beer”. It was my Arizona Tea Arnold Palmer can.
