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...

That is true, we used to have radios in our cars and I was a whole lot more dangerous using them than I would be a phone. Wonder why they aren't going after cyclists on the phone or with headphones on, that's got to be a more dangerous potentially.
