A cop who was texting and driving hit and killed a former Napster exec... and was acquitted of any wrong doing because "it is legal for cops to text and drive sometimes". The text being answered was a text from another cop, but the same cop was texting his wife not too long before. Cop kills former Napster exec What are your thoughts on double standard laws for cops vs. civilians in general?

Mozilla Firefox Favourite Manga Hellsing, Elfen Lied, Trigun Maximum	I think texting while driving is stupid no matter what the purpose was. Whether your texting your wife or your texting the chief of police to send in reinforcement to stop the terrorist attack, you're going to have your eyes off the road in both cases. You know this may be hard, I mean it takes some skill I suppose but you can always...pull off the road...and then start texting. Edited by EMIYA, Aug 31 2014, 02:26 AM.

That alone should speak volumes over how much it should be tolerated by anyone, regardless of profession.

As for double standards in regard to civilians as opposed to cops: Some of the laws make sense as their job requires certain freedoms/actions... and some of the laws do not (like this particular case).

Don't let them have their job if they can't fire a gun properly or can't handle a slight jump scare without whipping it out and shooting everything to hell. Let other, intelligent and responsible people be officers not random idiots who're probably as criminal as those they're paid to catch. Most importantly make sure they're not fat, that they can chase minor criminals down instead of just shooting them in the legs or outright killing them. I'm sure these idiotic officers cost America a lot of money with their accidents and law suits so it would definitely be worth it.

It means "I'm going to enforce the laws on everyone... except myself... and my friends... and the politicians that make the laws that they don't want/have to follow." That's a can of worms I'm not willing to discuss. It makes my blood boil. On the texting/driving subtopic: Ohmygosh is it so important that you say whatever it is that you want to risk running over some persons disobedient toddler that just waltzed out in front of you from between two parked cars on the side of the road? Seriously. Unless you are perfectly fine with possibly ending the life of a complete stranger, you better be pulling that car over before you text "Lolz" to your boss/coworker/friend. I can't even tell you how many times I have had to swerve, slam on brakes, etc. because of distracted (almost always distracted by texting) drivers coming into my lane, or nearly hitting me head on.

So many commercials on how texting and driving is dangerous and I didn't see one saying "but it's okay if you're a police officer". The fact a man was killed do to his negligence and he was acquitted because of his badge is not anything short of disgusting.
