    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    Interesting , So the truck driver had a proper camera with him at the time, or did the truck driver use the camera in his mobile phone to take the picture, if he used the mobile phone camera then he would also be breaking the law by having a phone in his hand whilst driving whether or not he was texting or not having a phone in hand gets you in hot water

    At least the cop was stopped at traffic lights, unlike the clown weaving all over the road whilst texting on the Monash the other evening or the kid who sped past me doing about 130 whilst seated in a position not unlike a jason recliner in the reclined position, steering with his knees and texting with both hands and all of his modest brain.
    They had to demonstrate that this cop is not above the law, but texting whilst stopped at lights is pretty far down my list of risky behaviour.

    Until they miss the green and the impatient clown behind slams into him , assuming he will be rocketing off the micro second the drag lights go to green.

    Why? It's one of their methods of communication and sometimes easier and more effective than radio.

    They're also taught to be able to drive faster, Use firearms etc.

    So depending on circumstances- which in this case it seems weren't in the course of performing their duty - he has committed and offence.

    Just remember - the person taking the picture has also committed the same offence..
