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.

There is always this other distraction option to try out.

See, now why could you not do that correctly first time?
lazy?

Why are you carrying on about a link that everybody but you can read?
who is the lazy one, figure out why lazy one.


Why should everyone reading it have to copy and paste things back together because some moron is using a newsreader that splits a SINGLE WORD. Even if you want 70 char lines because you still use a tiny little green screen linux system, FFS do NOT wrap a single word.
