Roughly a third of the people I've ever stopped for using their phone have had a bluetooth headset or hands-free kit in the car yet still had the phone clamped to the side of their head when talking on it.

OK,i bet lots of people are probably too lazy to get the hands free going.

The hands-free set could be construed as not needing to use the phone directly.As the defendant did,and rightly so.
Derek,the court thought the two witnesses weren't believable.Having read the link,of course I can't comment on that,as I wasn't there.
However,it does seem like the case isn't as clear cut as you like to make it.Also,why do you feel the need to defend your colleagues so vehemently?No cop ever corroborated his buddies story out of camaraderie?
The courts decide who's guilty or not,not the cops!
