Also cops can be fully typing on a full Size laptop or talking to their buddies holding the phone to their ear with 0 repercussions ever.
They can literally murder people in broad daylight and at worst they get a paid vacation and a transfer.
They also don’t wear seatbelts.
Or follow the speed limit. But when they do, it's 5 under and they scare the shit out of other drivers
That's for the best.
No need to change that.
They can shoot your dog, rape your wife, and strangle your black neighbor with 0 repercussions.
I'm a school bus driver and a couple of years ago I had a cop pass me in the opposite direction when I was stopped with my red flashers and stop sign out and about to let kids out to cross the street. He was face down in his phone. If I hadn't noticed him coming he easily could have hit a kid ... and then I probably would have been arrested.
I wish more cars had built in keyboards, it would be less distracting thsn typing on a touchscreen
How about you wait when you aren't operating a several ton death machine?
