Hence, the new law of no cell phone usage while driving so we pay attention to driving. Why not the same rule to all law enforcement too?!? Radio, typing on the computer, etc.. It's a valid point. I've seen countless times in various cities while driving where a police car almost piles into someone because they are typing on the computer or fiddling around with something while driving..

I'm supposed to drive while starring in my rearview mirror while the officer can't look over the side without plowing into my car? That's just as ridiculous as the point structure in regards to emergency vehicles.
If you want to protect us, don't crash into us and then give us points.

How about quit making excuses and listen for a siren. My ears are really bad. I can hear a siren. Or what happen to scanning the road and your mirrors. Have drivers gotten so lazy now days they one drive with horse blinders on. What about pulling to the far right shoulder with a emergence vehical approaching.
How many things did I just discribe that the mini driver didn't do?

Yes, I do move to the right when I hear a siren coming from behind me, but there are times they don't run with a siren and times they do.

not trying to add to the fire but ive almost been hit numerous of times by police officers on their cell phones and reaching towards their comps. Girlfriend ran into several incidents like this as well. And they weren't flashing lights or anything, just purely not paying attention when they couldve pulled over for a quick second while trying to multitask.

Honestly what is the difference between a civilian texting or law enforcement typing in their computer while driving.. Nothing, both are equally dangerous! Granted texting while driving is against the law now.. The same rule should apply to law enforcement

lol that was my point, there is no difference between a civilian and emergency vehicle drivers "multitasking"....So start giving every driver you see "multitasking" a lecture...Oh and don't forget the civilians that almost run you off the road too...

Listen. Before you go opening your mouth again. Please seek time to learn what your trying to talk about.
Also 99% of all patrol units now days have onboard data loggers to record things such as when lights and sirens are being used. I think most even have dash cams now too.
Dont be so negative about the people that may or may not just have to save your life one day. Because I fully know when you are hiding in the corner of some place while some guy is running around shooting people. You will be in the corner crying like a dumb *****. Preying for the cops to come save your *****ing ***. Then when they save you and you break a nail in the rescue I am sure you will sue the **** out of everyone involed.
So please.... Just go post some pictures of the dirty shop and stay out of what you dont know about.

I'm not being negative towards just one party.. I was stating it for all.. Oh, and I have no negativity towards law enforcement. I have quite a few friends who are officers.
No, I won't be the guy hiding in the corner crying my eyes out.. But thanks for sharing what you might be like in that situation...
