The cop seems to be younger than me. I’m on my early 30s. I have a good feeling about him. He seemed like he was raised right. Why can’t more 20 year olds be like him

[hollywoodjoe]

I’ve seen cops on their phones while driving

[IntegraDIY]

Bullshit money grab. Why don’t they catch criminals, and not bother people taking a quick glimpse at their phone. I do it all the time with no issue. I could understand texting or being really distracted, but not lookin quick at the time or gps

[rickslaye]

The most distracted people on the road is cops with there phones and computers!

[luckyluciano]

I drive on the freeway watching YouTube videos simultaneously watching the road.

[jasondh]

Why don’t they put the efforts on stopping people racing on freeways. Or homeless setting up tents on freeways

[romansyqui]

Coming from most Chp officers on their damn phones

[phillipkalaveras]

He going to be fine but that baby face kills it for now

[FlixCreEightR]

How about getting rid of the homeless.

[Five]

Low hanging fruit. Waste of time when LAPD is understaffed.

[winsome]

Meanwhile chp officers use their phones and their in car computers while driving 😂

[mustang]

Should be down by liquor stores that go was looted the hell out of and standing by for nonsense

[LauraVillasenor-bfni]

Texting while driving can be deadly. Why risk your own life, or the life of someone else. It's not worth it.

[luxavier]

people doing wheelies in the middle of the street and they focus on that ?

[juniperrob]

This so dumb. I respect law and order, but the CHP needs more coverage on the freeways for speeding especially at night. When is there going to be freeway video for speeding tickets. Don't care what it costs. Do it. CHP is terrible about shutting down freeways for hours with little to no traffic control and rerouting with turnarounds. Get your shit together

[pd]

I drove to5 Freeway and all my God these people think they’re so privileged you could see him with the phone in their hand by the ear talking into it they don’t care do not pay attention to driving I watch people texting me slam on the brakes it’s just it’s incredible that they have this window tinting now I thought the legal limit in California was 3.5 they have black outside windows no pass me driver door front windshields are tinted now oh my God what the hell is going on

[arizonaranger]

…. Waste of resources much, I’ve seen LAPD, and LASD, and CHP on their phones

[subterraneanhomesickalien]

Well, I'm glad all the crime in L.A has been eradicated and we are looking like Mayberry finally. Now law enforcement can concentrate on these distracted driving thugs.

[richiecabron]

What happens when I catch those pigs on the phone

[hernandezphyllis]

Lol...distracted...we need to find a better word. Barricade set up on my street to avoid three different potholes that are forming ...cones, sandwich signs with caution lights held down by sandbags. They get run over several times a day.
A gracious neighbor goes out and tries to fix them. What if someone were jaywalking...toast! Yet people don't want police and good people don't wanna be police.
We got a serious, serious problem.
