It's pretty great when they get caught by an unmarked car though. Seen exactly this yesterday
The argument goes that it distracts you and makes you more likely to have an accident.

Fine.

It should be illegal for ALL people behind a wheel, especially INCLUDING the police. Even those little radios on their lapels as they have to take a hand off the wheel to use them.

There can be no exceptions, the police are human beings and get distracted as much as anyone else.

If they try the "we're professional drivers" stuff, well, so am I, doing over 4,000 miles a month, more than many police I suspect, so I should be exempt as well by their argument...
