Dumbest thing you ever got pulled over for or charged with?

I can't decide if its the time I got pulled over because the car dealership put my temporary tag in the back window,

or the time I got pulled over for riding my bicycle at night with no headlights,

or the time they set up a police barricade in a four-block radius around my band's gig, even though the party host had cleared it with all his neighbors first.


Got any good ones like that, or am I just incredibly unlucky?

Actually, none of the neighbors complained. They were all at the party. Our noise ordinance is set at a fixed level regardless of the time of day - so they can arrest you at any time regardless of whether or not it bothers anyone. The police decided to show up because someone at a local school had informed them that there would be a party.

I got pulled over for doing 50 in a 25. But hey, I was speeding. He had a little pity on me and let me go with awarning because I already had a temp. license (that little piece of paper you get when they seize yours) from not signaling a turn in a little town in Louisiana.

I think you are unlucky.

When i went trick or treating when i was 12 a cop pulled over and checked me and my friends bags for alcohol. We were such suspicious 12 year olds....wtf

Hmm... I don't blame your neighbors for not wanting a band. And bikes with no lights are very, very dangerous for you. It drives me nuts when bikers don't have lights. They're cheap and save your life. Very decent citizens have stopped me in alarm when I haven't had them.

I got pulled over once for no reason. When I asked why the officer would not answer. I never got cited for anything. He just ran my plates and checked my license. I later found out that I was very near Sam Walton's house with out of state plates. I guess they were nervous about his safety.

A cop pulled my mother over to apologize for pulling out in front of her. He was checking the license plate of the car in front of her to see if it was stolen. She said he didn't pull out in front of her...she had plenty of room.

This was about 40 years ago. I was still a kid, sitting in the back seat with my sister in front.

And been ticketed twice (in two separate vehicles) for not having a front license plate on my car.

I once got pulled over for a field sobriety test after taking my coat off while driving and swerving a little as a result.

How about being 18 and it being 12:30 at night. I'm coming home from work and immediately notice a cop behind me. He saw me take a left so I know he got a good look at me. I'm driving extra careful, going the speed limit and he's riding the bumper of my truck. 2 mile later he pulls me over. He said I swerved a little over the yellow line and he thought I was drunk. I never did anything at all he just felt like pulling me over.

While helping a friend and driving his car I got pulled over for a broken tail-light . I didn't know it was broke and technically I should've checked , but that's not what's so odd about this one . The officer ran my license and arrested me for outstanding warrants !! WHAT ? I don't have warrants . Anyways I was held for almost 2 hours and repeatedly questioned as to what my real name was . I kept tellin em that my name on the license was correct . They wouldn't believe me . Finally , an officer released me with no charges and then showed me the report that popped up when they ran my name . Seems that some other guy with almost exactly the same first , middle and last names had warrants . And the grand daddy of them all , he was born in the same year as me , and had an extremely similar social security number , and same height , same weight , and lived only 8 miles away though I never knew of him before !! That's scary weird .

So afterall , I guess I would've arrested me too !!

I was pulled over for Passing a WI State Trooper at 60 mph in a 55mph zone.

Took everything I had to not laugh in his face.

Well, he was a baby Trooper and he was able to put 2+2 together after he noticed my duty bag on the floor of my truck. So I can't be too hard on him. The District #2 troops are pretty good shits!

NO, I went to Rock Springs WYOMING...and I got pulled over for doing seven over. My speedometer didn't even say I was going that much over. Anyway, my license plate was two days expired...it was a temp tag and they took me to JAIL. I had no warrents, everything was current...and they still took me to jail. THIS I SWEAR...I was not rude to the cop or anything. I cried a lot and they still took me in. NO REASON.

Got pulled over awhile back. The officer asks for my license and insurance ... had 'em. He then asks me if I know why he pulled me over. I say no ... wasn't speeding, car is legal, all the parts work, have no clue.

He then says "did you know you are required to have an inspection sticker issued by the state of Texas Ma'am?" I look through the windshield and see my sticker there, as usual and answer "well, yes, I have an inspection sticker, right there".

He makes me get out of the car and look. Turns out my little girl put a Strawberry Shortcake sticker on the outside of my window right over the inspection sticker. lol
