Funny thing happened today as I was at a light waiting for light to
change. I was in the left turn lane facing north, and the highway
traffic coming off the highway heading across my path showed a police
car going past me and the cop driving was talking on his cell phone.

I just shook my head as I watched him drive past me.

Police are allowed to break most traffic laws *IF* it's appropriate for
doing their job (the obvious example being speeding and running red
traffic lights when on an emergency call out). Unfortunately there are
many cases of police being just as moronically stupid as the rest of
the human race and using their cellphone for non-official business
while driving, illegally parking so they can grab a coffee, etc.
