This is the Kind of Petty Tyrant Crap That Turns Americans Against Law Enforcement

When LE think they they are above the standard of safety:

Man Ticketed After Complaining About Deputy's Behavior


quote:

OSCEOLA COUNTY, Fla. -- You may have seen police officers typing on their laptop computers while they're driving. One driver told WFTV he saw an Osceola County deputy using her computer on the road and, when he tried to tell her to stop, she gave him a ticket.

question:

If the same sheriff passed you in traffic and you were working on your laptop while driving would they pull you over? There should be no double standard, as it is a dangerous practice no matter who is doing it. The sheriff's supervisor needs to tear up that ticket and have a discussion with the officer. One does not magically become super human when they become an LE officer, and being distracted by a computer could get an innocent citizen injured or killed.
