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.

At least he wasn't texting and driving.

even better, cops have a laptop sitting right next to them, where
they type and drive all the time, checking license plates or
pulling up information relevant to a call.


I hadn't thought of that! I wonder if that should be illegal while
driving, too.


Why do you need the government to tell you everything
you may or may not do?

Get some real balls in your life.
