As I was being pulled over to receive a warning for speeding, the officer forgot to put his cruiser in park. I've owned this car less than 2 weeks and have already had two minor incidents in it. Neither were my 100% my fault.

Car - A Kia Forte with great gas mileage and all the features that I needed under 20k.

And yet your insurance will be raised substantially.
myotheralt
Good morning, officer, can I see your license and insurance info?
munchmunchmunch
And the kicker is you get to pay a nice deductible along with increased insurance rates. Pre-existing conditions.
killer10347
The cruiser just wanted to cop a feel

Rifneno
It's clearly moving the second he gets out of it. How do you not notice a car inches away from you is moving? WTF, cop?
john22250
Tail lights out thats another ticket
ForesterRik
So did the precinct pay for damages?
DontKnowTheSource
File a complaint to the town and have them pay for any damages to the car?

KIA has done real well the last decade... Optima looks nice, Telluride looks straight awesome
nobblestein
Agreed! I’d love the chance to drive a telluride some time. Very sleek and sharp looking!
irateyourrepost
Jackpot. My neck and my back!

Karen?
sesamesnapsinhalf
That look on your face was priceless.

I'd say this one wasn't your fault 100 percent
Jimmyb3121
If you were at a stop, why does your camera say you were going as fast as .07 mph!!!! Your credibility is shot. /s cuz some people
ChronikDiabetes
Friend got hit by a cop. Cop went and claimed she was the one being negligent, she went to court and still lost
Zahnradfee
I guess she didn't have camera footage. :/
NotReallyM3
Fuck the po-lice. Jk they do an awesome job and are completely underrated, any time they have a minor screw up like this every1 fucks overem

Someday I'll own a week old car instead of a weak, old car.
Xenophemera
+1 for your under appreciated creativity
jaffo
In Mexico we have a belief that sometimes cars are not for us. If you have this kind of luck, you sell the car and star over with a new one.
Knovar
Well if he stopped speeding for a start, he'd probably have fewer accidents and warnings.

“Ok I’m going to let you go with a warning this time”- cop

Cop: you have a broken tail light. You: No, i don't. Cop: just a moment... you have a broken tail light

Somehow I didn't know what movie this was from until yesterday...
TacticalDonutPatrol
That’s a bad day. I’ve almost done that to other cruisers on disturbance calls. Get out too fast and forget to put it in park. Thankfully,
TacticalDonutPatrol
I noticed as i was getting out because the car started to roll.
Smashinbananas
Hey at least you didnt ghost ride the whip
black3beard
They're all automatics aren't they?
TacticalDonutPatrol
Nowadays, yes. Most departments use some mix of Impala, Crown Vic, Taurus, Expedition, and Tahoe.
TumeniHits
Are they fitted with Parking Brakes? Handbrakes?
TacticalDonutPatrol
Pedal emergency brakes, but those aren’t used by most. I only use mine when parking my car on my slanted driveway overnight.
BMuff
Fantastic username for a cop lol.
TacticalDonutPatrol
Thanks. My original name became too synonymous with the white supremacists movement so i had to change it.
Noob3rts
Yikes, what was it?
TacticalDonutPatrol
See my reply to the other person. It’s a lot to type out on phone again.
BMuff
Understandable
AcademyStarbuck
White Flour?
TacticalDonutPatrol
FriendlyJackbootThug. Aside from nazis it’s a common derogatory term for police. I was playing off that but current events caused a reaction
MeatlogMassarce
You look thrilled
Bizblam22
Extremely...
DuckyofDeath123
I'm guessing you were worried he might open fire.
thankgodfordeaddinosaurs
That sigh, though.
Barlort
Did he still give you a ticket?
Xaldyn
No, he just drove off. Sometimes life's OK.

We’ll all float on I’m sure
theMaplekindyea
I ran my mouth off a BIT too much oh what can I say?
Bizblam22
No, just a warning.
Jeffdalmer
For a broken tail light?
zeketheviking
A warning? He better have just started filling out the accident report. In my state a scratch on a brand new car would be over the limit.
TacticalDonutPatrol
Yeah my department makes us call out for a crash if we bump a curb.
aBJisStillaJobDuh
Damn, a tactical donut... crazy how nature do that
HsuDoNihm
"LOOK OUT!" ... [smash]... "I tried to warn you."
munchmunchmunch
What happens when they hit you? Do they give you someone to contact that acts like an insurance company?
TacticalDonutPatrol
Most police agencies are self insured and will speak with your insurance company to settle the claim.
LightningMcQueef
You get arrested and sock-partied in jail at 2 AM by his masked buddies
jerkittoanything
Sock-party, that's the one where everyone gets a turn with the sock in the closet right?
ButtPlugProductTester
So a regular Tuesday night. I like it.
ActionJohnnie
The ole number five.
TheRocketFiend
Did you give him a ticket?
aBJisStillaJobDuh
I actually laughed out loud
backtoussr
No, just a warning.
MrBadClown
Power moves
Harryteeters
He could warn DEEZ NUTS! A warning?! For real?! He should've been groveling in shame
TacticalDonutPatrol
Some states/ departments require written warnings or citations. My department no longer allows verbal warnings due to the Sandra Bland Act.
Josiahkf
goddamn it sandra!
Quattroiv
Whip lash suit?
macgerdo
Karen is that you?
MrAgrijag
Not everyone seeks to make every honest mistake into a full blown lawsuit that would probably end someones career
nearhi
I mean... I hope you got insurance info and are filing a claim for a new bumper...
Pierocksmysocks
Too bad you don't have audio of the conversation. That'd be pretty entertaining. "Do you know why I pulled you over?" "To hit me?? WTF"
DillPixels
I keep the audio on my dash cam
Goose1981
Mine just embrasses me amongst my mates with my music choices (38 year old male with Blackpink & Taylor Swift on high rotation). :-D
FirstThingThatCameToMind
remember to ask for his licence and registration.
activeracer28
I'd rather hear how he explains this to his superiors.
streptovsky
"The driver backed into me." 'His dashcam footage shows that you hit him.' "Uhhhhh"
ErrorUsernameNotSetToInstanceofAnObject
"What dashcam footage, Sarge?" "Excatly, corporal. Exactly."
DracidWasTaken
HE RESISTED
pookieeatworld
"He doctored that footage" "Ok but your dashcam footage shows it, too." "Fuck."
FirstThingThatCameToMind
"my dashcam broke, bodycam too"
AbortableToaster
"I feared for my life." 'So... You left your car off park?' In self defense, like the dog incident last year." ' Oookay... *Sucks teeth*'
WeekendMashSomeTatoes
"Well, i see no problem here deputy sheriff. You're getting one week paid leave and a slap on the wrist." "Thanks, darryl."
TacticalDonutPatrol
“Shit happens, Sarge.” That’s what i said first time i wrecked.
RandomTurd
Mine was "so I'm not a smart man"
TacticalDonutPatrol
I probably said something along those lines as well. My first one was me driving my patrol car into another parked patrol car. And it was
TacticalDonutPatrol
Right before shift change.
ashbee
Mine went, "what happened?" "I don't know, man, I missed the driveway"
TK421isAFK
Found the honest cop.
ashbee
Public safety is severely understaffed and overworked. I got out of an ambulance to push a broken down car off the road and left it in gear.
Shoutrr
and undertrained
TacticalDonutPatrol
Don’t know why you are getting downvoted. What you said is absolutely true. Police are severely undertrained. It’s a legit issue.
Seanthombbomb
Did you still get a ticket??
texasdean
Warning = no ticket
lookitupyourself
Like I doubt any tickets are being issued now, no matter what.
sjei282btsbsa828ehehth5he7s72727agsv2ya7a8aaksj4jr8r8d
You sure look behind you
zellar2020
I mean you'd have to laugh at this point, federal vehicles don't carry car insurance, so he gets to pay for the cop hitting him.
kingkongkeom
do i understand correctly that if a policeofficer, ambulance, firetruck etc driver has an accident, they have to pay it out of their pocket?
kingkongkeom
what? In Europe you are not even allowed to drive a car if its not insured...wondering about the US & their laws will never stop amazing me!
zellar2020
My buddy a long while back got sideswiped by an ambulance and had to pay for it. It's shit.
RandomTurd
Most ambulance companies in the US are self insured but all have insurance. So I'm pretty sure it was his fault or he's lying to you.
DigitalGuru42
If I had to guess, the buddy doesn't have insurance and didn't want to sue the ambulance company.

Wife was rearended by an IL State Trooper (she was stopped in the left turn lane at a light). Took us 5 years to get our deductible back.
ahhyehh
sounds like IL........ why am i still in this state?? sorry you had to wait so long that sucks
Josiahkf
why did you even pay it? them rear ending you means they are 100% at fault and must cover your deductible 100%?
bippityboppitybuttsex
because we wanted the car fixed?
RusstheVillian
Sounds like it would've taken five years to have gotten it fixed with the troopers insurance fighting hard not to pay out.
ChemicalG
Assuming full coverage, insurance fixes your car minus your deductible, then they try to recover that money back from the other party
AnathemaNoreh
Exactly, so the insurer is the one trying to get it, not the car owner
jqubed
At least you have video
ThanksIHateThis
Cops aren't liable for damages caused in the line of duty.
sha13
And a ticket for a broken light
DrBlackMiami
mikeatike
Which will do him no good. Fat chance getting anything out of the cops. And now your new car is worth 50%.
Camelspotting
It was worth 50% the moment he bought it.
MicroBioL0v3R
Depends on the area I think. SIL got hit by a cop and his supervisor met them at the scene. Cop’s insurance paid for all damage to her car.
CitizenPrime
do you use it for uber and stuff ? it seems odd to have the camera inwards otherwise
ParanoydAndroid
A lot of them nowadays, including this guy's, have dual lenses for front and back.
Thewinterisstillhere
His wife did not thrust him at all. She paid for it.
CitizenPrime
Trust him with what? Does she know you can have sex in other places then cars?
Thewinterisstillhere
I talked about his ability to drive a car you pervert. ;)
CitizenPrime
Well....he can drive other cars.....AND HAVE SEX IN THOSE!!
Bizblam22
For now. I'll probably end up shot 5 times and my family told I committed suicide.
TheAdjuster
Nah fam you're white, you'd just get a warning in america not shot, cops only shoot black people and beat up mexicans. #FuckThePolice
Mooki
Fell down an elevator shaft. On to some bullets.
Uberdoomer
I've always suspected a bit of foul play there.
Mooki
As have I.
rumandbass
You're white, no problem.
YeahNahNahYeahNahYeah
Just sprinkle some crack on him Johnson....
ProffesorGoogle
He fell on 5 bullets in the back your honour, it’s was just as crazy as it sounds.
kyraun
Looks like he died of natural causes to me

SensitiveShiori
you will probably just be epstiened
SoftcoreFavorites
damn. I didn't know you were one of Epsteins guards. RIP dude
iHumanity
Two weeks old, sounds right.
mrdinklage
Ha I was thinking same thing you just had to watch it happen because if you opened window to tell him you'd probably of been shot smh

What the hell are you talking about dude?? You're white

More about poverty, less about race
TheMayansWereOntoSomething
Eh, poverty definitely plays a role... But let's not down play race.
Veryscarygary
The car's a week old. Ain't poverty.
blameitonmyjuice
I see this joke working so often on imgur, so you are unlucky downvote winner of the day, it seems.
FractalShadows
haha yea, i was thinking of playing the lottery this week but at this rate i'll owe the state money
cdbeard199431415
Obviously resisting arrest
bobsvagenecatsdogsredheadscosplaypuffins
Some cops have shit for brains.
magicrhombus
Of course that's certainly possible, also possible he was super tired after pulling a double, or whatnot.
SpikeWolfwood
If being tired from pulling a double is a good excuse for forgetting to park the car then its troubling that he's also carrying a gun.
magicrhombus
Not an excuse, just an explanation. But more to the point, cops (and doctors, and nurses) should not be made to pull doubles. (1)
magicrhombus
If you're in a job where your mistakes can have life or death consequences, I would like you to be well rested. (2)
SpikeWolfwood
I completely agree.
wobblecopterrrr
“STOP RESISTING!”...
AshyBoneVR4
He's not black.
macgerdo
But you can clearly see he is grabbing his phone to shoot the cop.
wobblecopterrrr
You don’t have to be black to get fucked with by the cops.. but patpatpatpatpatpatpatpatpatpat.....
