NOBODY WANTS to be a cop. Its the stupid and the power trippers or the kids that got beat up in school that are forced to be cops because they lack skill, resources, intelligence and self esteem. It’s a very simple formula that has been subjected to much scrutiny and proven to be dead on. You pretty much have to be a social loser to want to be a cop.

I didn't want this to be a cop bashing thread. It's just that if you're going to tell us how many tickets you gave out to people talking on cell phones don't rub it in our face and drive down the street holding the phone to your ear.

I think the law is stupid. If a cop sees someone driving eratically while talking on a cell phone by all means pull them over and give them a ticket. Most of us can safely talk and drive, why should we be punished. Thats like passing laws to restrict the ownership of firearms by law abiding citizens because criminals missuse them.

Why is it I don't think you are kiddingabout this..

Sad....

He said if they are breaking laws...would you rather let law breakers get away with it?

He'd rather the police be left alone.

If the police break the law fine call it in if it makes you feel better.

when I see the local "road rage" mustang flying down a 40mph road at at least 65 just to turn into the station, I complain, that's bullshit. when the afforementioned mustang pulls up next to my car at a stop light and the cop rolls down the window, looks at me and revs his engine, I call and complain. when I get tailgated and followed by police cruisers(I make sure to go out of my way to make sure they are in fact following me) I complain.

is there a problem with letting the agency know that their cops are screwing up?

Oh puh-leeze. About as far from the truth as any post here ever is.Must be some of you think that constant repetition will make it true.

So then there should be an exception for all work related phone calls , right????????

Actually, if you were calling my dispatcher, under the state law you'd have an exemption too.

What's so funny about this is that not only does he beleive it, but that one paragraph brought up during the state mandated psych review would GUARANTEE that the state would never grant him a peace officer certification.

Do their jobs?

how about they start by living by the same law we have to.
That would be too much to ask from those who are above the laws they are supposed to enforce.

some of them are no better than hoods with a badge.

If a cop talking o his cell phone upsets you this much.. You have bigger things to worry about

No, what bothers me is the "the law doesn't apply" to officers .

you get preferential treatment, of course you'll see nothing wrong with it.

just as the nazis didn't.

Personally, (and I know how unpopular this view is) I think there is waaaaaaay to much bullshit surrounding the use of cell phones while driving. Laws banning their use without a hands-free device are nothing more than feel-good B.S. and they accomplish nothing.

At least SOMBODY is exempt (or feels they should be) from a stupid law. More power to them. As for ticketing other drivers for violating crap like this...well...I'd rather they didn't.

All I have to say on the matter is that a police officer talking on the phone, whether or not it is legal in the state is less of a threat to the public well being than him typing/IMing on the in-cruiser laptop (which I highly doubt is illegal).

+1 If our guys refused to use their cell phones with all the shit we give them to deal with every day, people would have a Goddamn fit.

I miss the good ole days when they had to relay all the juicy info over the radio, listening to the scanner was actually fun and entertaining. Then when they all got cell phones they just come on the radio and say they are going to make a call

Ban cell phones for cops so I can hear all the good info I say

If someone is driving recklessly while talking on a cellphone, how about we just ticket them for reckless driving instead of passing another BS law that everybody will ignore?

Not to sound condescending but why do these laws surprise any of you? There are always exemptions for police or other government entities when these kinds of laws are written. Read up on gun laws and it'll become apparent that most specifically exempt law enforcement. The motherfuckers who write the laws aren't stupid, they know that if law enforcement isn't exempted, they can't run ads boasting about how "even the police support [insert new freedom raping law]..." for the idiots to gobble up and feel good about.

So what's the law about? Safety on the roads I presume. Why are cops safer than anybody else? Do you make the same exception for doctors rushing to the hospital to get a more informed, and therefore safer, response to save a life? What the hell if it is work related? That doesn't justify distracting the driver, whether he be "civilian" or LEO, the issue is that the roads are less safe with drivers on cell phones. The nature/substance of the call shouldn't be a factor for anyone, even cops. For those who refuse to apply a little thought and see the issue for what it is, and that it has nothing to do with WHO is on the phone or WHY, get over it.

Not a police officer, or even someone with a cell phone. but I'm pretty sure communication is a necesary part of the job description. Therefore, an exemption. Not too hard to figure out, even my 5 year old got it the first time around

So should all jobs with "communication" in the job description get an exemption? What's the difference between civilian communication in a livesaving, non LEO job and an LEO? Can your five year old answer that? NOBOBDY should be above the law. Especially those enforcing it.

Quoted:
This kind of police corruption runs rampant: cops talking on cell phones while driving, not using a turn signal while changing lanes, not putting a nickle in a parking meter. Geraldo ought to do an expose on this but he won't for fear of retaliation.

Don't forget about the free cup of coffee from 7-11.

If I read the law right, (google has it, haven't read it have you?) they're covered too. There is an exemption for 911 calls.

but the laws are just for you and me/... < not for the almighty JBTs>

I don't know where you live but many agencies in Texas have gone to all-cell dispatching, but then you seem obviously well informed.

Not very smart. What will they use for comms when the cell network goes down. Smoke signals?

Cant be any worse than standard comm systems that have 60-70 % coverage of the patrol areas on a good day.
