Hadn't heard about that in this part of the state. Wrecks or just "citizen reports?"

How often are the most guilty ones, law enforcement, in any violation?

As I posted earlier, there is a whole list of exemptions, including employment related activities - here's the url of the actual bill that was enacted.

No, just my personal observation. It's not against the law down here, but I swear, every time I see a state trooper on I-64 they are gabbing on the phone, and they never look like official calls.

What does an official call look like ?

I've heard that the coppers are now using cell phones to receive info from the dispatch. It some areas it's now SOP to use the cell phone versus the old Squad 54 method.

I'm just curious, but what does an official call look like? I work with a lot of troopers, and they make a lot of calls on their cell phones; to each other.

I'll state here that my experiece is limited and thus not conclusive. But in three shifts riding along with them, their combined personal phone calls amounted to....wait for it.....
