* ''Radio/OurMissBrooks'': Miss Brooks is the victim of this trope in "Four Leaf Clover". The same policeman catches her (accidentally) breaking Mr. Morelli's barber pole, parking by a fire plug, parking by a fire plug ''again'', makes her pay compensation for damaging a golf fanatic's grass when picking the titular [[BadLuckCharm four leaf clover]], then he finally forced Miss Brooks into quarantine when she visits Mr. Morelli to pay damages (the policeman had forced her to visit him in the first place!).

He lets them off this time, but after the two escape from a bar full of angry transsexuals (ItMakesSenseInContext), they're heading down the highway, doing a hundred and ten... and "that same blame cop" shows up, and this time arrests them.

Pepper in ''Film/LiveAndLetDie'', and runs into him again in ''Film/TheManWithTheGoldenGun'' while Pepper just happens to be vacationing in Bangkok. In a variation of this trope, Pepper's attitude toward Bond has improved ''significantly'' since their last encounter; while he does continue to create problems for Bond, it's because he tags along and makes himself into TheLoad.

* Played humorously in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow''. While tagging along with Benson on a trip to renew their cart's warranty, they accidentally cause him to swerve off the road. The scene then switches to a cop making Benson do a sobriety test. Later on, Benson puts on a music tape, and the group moves along with it, even though it causes Benson to take his hands off the wheel. We see them getting pulled over again by the same cop, who's dancing along with them.

* In ''Odd Couple II'', Felix and Oscar end up in a small-town sheriff's office three times in three days under three charges. The first time the truck lent to them turned out to be full of illegal immigrants; the second time they were caught in a priceless antique car with the dead body of the owner (he passed away naturally); and the third time they were involved in a kidnapping from a bus (but in this case they were the victims). When the kidnappers see the police barricade, Oscar consoles them by saying "Don't worry, I know each of them personally." After this in the sheriff's office, Oscar compares their situation to a trifecta. An enraged Felix threatens to strangle Oscar and get arrested for a "four-fecta". After this the sheriff lets them go, telling his men not to bring them back even if they kill someone and rob the bank.

* In one episode of ''Series/TheSuiteLifeOfZackAndCody'', Cody is away at math camp, and Zack misses him and wants to visit. London, meanwhile, is trying to prove to Mosby that she can drive, so she agrees to take him there. They kidnap Maddie so she can't report them, and Muriel and Esteban come along for hijinks. London is a nervous driver, so she gets pulled over for driving too slowly. Shortly afterward, Muriel takes over driving and gets pulled over for speeding. It's the same cop, who's very confused by the change.
