It ain’t about safety. +1
Also, I swear every time I see a police officer driving, they are on the phone here in my city. Would anyone care to venture how much revenue could be generated if we audited all the police nationwide for “distracted driving.” I really think they are abusing there power to chat with their lovers while on the citizens pay.
I was in my car at a stoplight with my young daughter, a cop turned right into the street coming towards us and had the car well over halfway across the center yellow line. I said “I bet he is on the phone” and when he got to the stoplight, I was right. Good teaching moment for me, as I could show to my daughter that even police do not obey the laws and drive irresponsibly.
