Got any tips on how to see when you're drinking it while driving? I hate when the bottle is almost empty so you have to look up for like, 5 seconds to get every drop out.
Lol those anchorwomen/man are all thinking "fuck just one more thing I have to keep an eye out for while I'm texting and driving on my way home and to work."
People might hate me but I think more people should buy a manual car reason is not many people know how to drive one so they can't steal it and they can't do anything else but shift
mysterious channel just my assumption or intuition tbh. I think that people who steal cars tend to be people who know a thing or two about them. I agree that a car is probably less likely to be stolen if it's a manual but my argument is that probably not a significant amount less likely. But just my opinion, not based on any data or anything.
I'm at home sitting in my chair, it doesn't matter if I don't look up. You're guilty of using your phone and not looking up or YOU wouldn't have complained.
Kevin Abla It is advised that you never give cash to panhandlers. There are people who do this for a living and have homes. Some panhandlers make more than the average working person. Giving to charities is much better.
I hope they keep it up and I hope it spreads to other cities. I'm not a fan of traffic cops handing out speeding tickets (with exceptions) but I do believe in this.
12799MaDeuce The cops were using SEP cloaks, Somebody Else's Problem. People avoid looking directly at homeless people, and if they were texting on their phones, they'd be even less likely to be paying attention.
That's the whole point-they were too busy with their e-bullshit to notice what was happening in front of them. Yes, it is possible to multitask-BUT the quality of the activities is inversely proportional to the quantity. Subpar texting makes you look stupid, but subpar driving can make you look dead🚗💥💀
Officers do receive phone calls sometimes because some information can't go over the radio. Since people started broadcasting police radio traffic on apps and online, sometimes information has to be private so Central command will either text or call the officer.
Fun Fact, in the UK you are allowed to use your mobile (cell) phone while driving.. But the only person you are allowed to be on the phone with in that circumstance is actually the police. And again, Police are allowed to use their mobile phones while on duty, for duty related calls.. If they are on a private call, they get the same penalty as everyone else.
Your cellphone is not important. Social media is not important. If you can't leave your cellphone for however long it takes you to get to your destination then you have to change something.
It is also a tip to donate to homeless shelters as the money has a higher chance of being used appropriately. Sadly the media probably conveniently left that out.
Jack Bauer You shouldn’t give money to homeless. Most of the time there’s a reason that they’re homeless, and it’s not because it’s someone else’s fault. They made bad decisions and will continue to do so. Doesn’t matter how much money you give them.
How is it entrapment? They are in no way encouraging them to use their phones. Now if they held up a sign telling them to take a picture or call/text a certain number then ticketed them for cell phone use that would be entrapment. Entrapment is baiting the person in to breaking the law which they are not doing.
is it just a financial penalty that motorists incur for using a mobile while driving? Here in England the penalties have recently increased, its a £200 fine, thats approx $250, but a persons licence is also endorsed with 6 penalty points, the points remain logged on your licence for three years and if you collect 12 points or more in total in that time your licence is revoked and you can be disqualified for driving for a year, so that lady in the clip who was caught using here phone twice in the space of two weeks would most likely have to appear in court and receive a driving ban if it was in England, and after a driving ban is logged on you record car insurance becomes very very expensive as you are seen as a high risk. Do they have a points system in the USA,? ..its quite a good deterrent because it is a more significant consequence than just a fine.
I don't know about all states but in some states they have the point system were if you commit traffic violations you get points on your record and when you get a certain amount, you get your drivers license suspended for a certain amount of time.
Yes, exactly like the UK, except it also makes your insurance skyrocket, so it's both financial for the fine, financial for the next 3-5 years on insurance premiums, AND the points that rack up with the suspension of licence for xx years.
CIRILO HERNANDEZ III there’s a certain code where cops don’t need to have lights on to get to their destination, but will only turn them on going through an intersection. And if they’re in their phone it’s because they need to be relayed info that can’t be relayed over the radio, and because of that they’re exempt from that law.
There’s a vid on TH-cam of a cop cutting a turn short and running into a cyclist. It was caught on his helmet cam. The cop was looking at his cell phone. All that tech in cop cars and no Bluetooth. Shame.
I caught this fat 60 year old woman texting. I politely told her that she should not be texting. She immediately went on the defensive, gave me the finger several times, threatened to kick my ass. She threatened to have her husband kick my ass. So I was, "Mam, that's a threat, and I can call the police." So I decided to leave well enough alone, and she followed me to a store. She was waiting for me by the door. So I decided to just do my shopping and let her wait. Eventually, she got the point and left me alone. But as I got into my car, she drove back in the parking lot, yelled out the window and flipped me off. I just ignored her and went on my way. Its not worth it.

Because they would be giving tickets to judges, cops, family members, school workers, city workers, etc.
How is catching people texting and driving distracting them? If your referring to them standing on the side of the road, then you're also wrong. There is always people on the side of the road and as a driver your supposed to be vigilant and aware of anyone walking or standing on or near the road. Do you even have a license or are you just doing anything to sound clever when really you sound very idiotic?
@@joey19xx73 yes thanks I've had a licence for 20 years and I think it's clear from the video "idiot" that they clearly are distracting the drivers unless you don't consider waving a sign at them then actually approaching the vehicles and speaking to them distracting them, one of the officers even runs upto acar and yells at a women not to give them money, so clearly she was distracted by them you total plank.

LoL....totally agree. Cops are people who routinely speed, play with their computer, 2 way radio & then write tickets to citizens, while letting non citizens(illegals) drive with no license or insurance
In your case of "computer emote" and "siren emote" He was responding to a call. If your gonna accuse him of using his laptop, think about why its their in the first place.
@@burninroses1755 hmm sending a message or creating whole emails while driving and texting and operating radio's ect...yea the cops are not distracted at all and eveyone but cops should be punished...😑 is this the serious train of thought happening here rn??
@@jonproffitt4485 We are trained in using our mdt (Mobile Data Terminal) radio, and sirens all at once when responding to a call. However, in more recent years they are making it two officers per vehicle so my partner will usually do the sirens and research on the mdt calls, and I just do radio.
In the U.K. the penalties have just doubled - £200 fine and 6 points on your licence. To put that in perspective, if you get 12 points, you are disqualified from driving (or, if you've been driving for less than 2 years, 6 points).
Use your brain. He was answering the question about the probable thought process while texting and driving. Your comment is exactly how false information is created.
the only thing that upsets me about this video. is there are people stopping to help someone from the kindness of their hearts. they should not be scared by the police for doing so. i understand, to a certain extent.
I've seen cops going down the road on cell phones and also typing on their little laptops with their bodies turned sideways. Not only enforce the law, but they're clearly above it too!!
walking back81 hey buddy, let’s see you try to speed off onto a callout with absolutely no details or a clue about what’s happening at your destination. That’s right, cops are out here doing their job while you’re over here texting Jim about where you want to take the kids this weekend.
Uh oh this Francisco guy is a boot kicker... what a shame. I think I the point is that distracted driving is distracted driving. If you get hit by a cop on a lap top or a civilian on the phone which hurts worse? My point exactly.... when you’re dead is your family going to say well the cop was speeding to an unknown location and he needed the details so we understand or will they say that if he were distracted he shouldn’t be speeding?
El Jefè Williams who are you to be calling me anything first of all? Obviously I know that distracted driving is wrong no matter if you’re a civ or a LEO. All I’m saying is that the cops have a valid reason to be doing that
El Jefè Williams I never said it’d be justified for them to hit anyone. I said their reason to be on the laptop is valid. As opposed to any other civ being distracted to make plans for the weekend.
Texting and driving should be a 1000 dollar ticket so they learn. More than 6,000 people die a year cause of this. Just put your phone in the glove department and leave it there!
I agree 100% , I am a retired Termite & Pest Control Operator and Company Owner the phone went every where I went when cell phone came out. Then texting and so on. I never text not one word while driving. Company policies included the same and I would fire a person for that reason after warnings.. One thing I might add though is I think the police who I have seen doing that very thing should also be held to that same law.
I 100% agree that it's dangerous to use your phone while driving. As they say that people think that the rules don't apply to them when they do. But also the cops do it too, half the time I see a police officer looking and typing stuff into their laptop while driving, shouldn't the law apply to them too?
Crazy how I live in Palm Springs Florida and I see police everyday on their cell making calls and so on and nothing happens to them. Two wrongs don't make a right.
They’re exempt from that law as long as it’s work related. Sometimes officers have to be called for some information because it can’t be relayed over the radio.
It's NOT that people don't think that the rules don't apply to them. It's that people think THEY are the only ones who can do it without actually being distracted.
If this happens in south florida/Miami..... they'll make millions in a short time..... the drivers here are HORRIBLE drivers and using their cell phones at the same time ☠
As a biker (only from of transportation) I will say 75% of people on the highway are on their phones ether texting or talking BUT cops acting homeless / camping out at Wal-Mart exits is too far.. I don't want to walk (drive) on my tip toes because of undercover cops. Plus now we have real hobos fake hobos AND cop hobos. What's next?
Its not against the law to give anyone money. Its your freedom to choose to give or not. Doesn't matter if someone makes a law a law doesn't mean its right.
In the UK you get a £200 fine and 6 points and if you get 12 points on your licence you will get it taken away, and if your a new driver 6 points will get it taken so if your in your first 2 years of driving and get caught just once they’ll take your licence, and even if your more experienced just getting caught twice will get your licence taken

No point system here, it's more of a warning, a fine, another fine, possibly another fine, then jail time. Depends on how the officer's days were.
The points on your licence can increase your insurance costs dramatically too. Go from around £300 a year to £1000 in some circumstances.

@@25242824 so please explain how these cars that are at a full stop while being approached are in any way a danger to anyone at all? Since you clearly don't think the fact they were texting and driving was already distracted enough. There's a million signs along most roads lmfao what is your logic?
@@joey19xx73 The police officers cleverly disguised themselves as cell phones and mascara. That's entrapment... that's L'oreal!
Were dropped on head on your head when you were born , what a stupid statement.
Damn I feel bad watching this while driving
Nani
Say sike rn
No
This is about money not safety. CBS enables
Jack Bauer I don’t see how it isn’t about safety??
you have not the right to drive, if you have privilege
I survived a head on colision while crossing the street by a distracted driver in Los Angeles just after a job training.
I posed as a homeless person when I had no where to live.
Shouldnt the officers get a ticket for loitering? Homeless people cant stand with sign so what gives them the right to?
citizens acting like the rules don't apply to them coming from the mouth of a police officer that's calling the kettle black
LoL....totally agree. Cops are people who routinely speed, play with their computer, 2 way radio & then write tickets to citizens, while letting non citizens(illegals) drive with no license or insurance
nobody:
cops going down the highway at 85 mph: 💻🤡🚨
In your case of "computer emote" and "siren emote" He was responding to a call. If your gonna accuse him of using his laptop, think about why its their in the first place.
@@burninroses1755 hmm sending a message or creating whole emails while driving and texting and operating radio's ect...yea the cops are not distracted at all and eveyone but cops should be punished...😑 is this the serious train of thought happening here rn??
@@jonproffitt4485 We are trained in using our mdt (Mobile Data Terminal) radio, and sirens all at once when responding to a call. However, in more recent years they are making it two officers per vehicle so my partner will usually do the sirens and research on the mdt calls, and I just do radio.
this should tell you how far the cell phones addiction has gone
In the U.K. the penalties have just doubled - £200 fine and 6 points on your licence.
To put that in perspective, if you get 12 points, you are disqualified from driving (or, if you've been driving for less than 2 years, 6 points).
How many watching this video does that as a way of life. 😢
Selfish / high risk drivers.
Potential muderers
about money or safety?
While I really hate distracted drivers as much as the next person, it seems that this is more about money than safety.
“It’s almost like the rules don’t apply to me” - Law Enforcement Officer.
Use your brain. He was answering the question about the probable thought process while texting and driving. Your comment is exactly how false information is created.
50% safety, 50% revenue
100 percent noncompliance
the only thing that upsets me about this video. is there are people stopping to help someone from the kindness of their hearts. they should not be scared by the police for doing so. i understand, to a certain extent.
Its about getting easy money.
Edna, you must be one of those low life texters, right?
I've seen cops going down the road on cell phones and also typing on their little laptops with their bodies turned sideways. Not only enforce the law, but they're clearly above it too!!
walking back81 hey buddy, let’s see you try to speed off onto a callout with absolutely no details or a clue about what’s happening at your destination. That’s right, cops are out here doing their job while you’re over here texting Jim about where you want to take the kids this weekend.
Uh oh this Francisco guy is a boot kicker... what a shame. I think I the point is that distracted driving is distracted driving. If you get hit by a cop on a lap top or a civilian on the phone which hurts worse? My point exactly.... when you’re dead is your family going to say well the cop was speeding to an unknown location and he needed the details so we understand or will they say that if he were distracted he shouldn’t be speeding?
El Jefè Williams who are you to be calling me anything first of all? Obviously I know that distracted driving is wrong no matter if you’re a civ or a LEO. All I’m saying is that the cops have a valid reason to be doing that
Francisco B will it be valid when they hit you? Will it be justified? Will it hurt less because it’s a LEO? You’ve yet to answer the question
El Jefè Williams I never said it’d be justified for them to hit anyone. I said their reason to be on the laptop is valid. As opposed to any other civ being distracted to make plans for the weekend.
“It’s almost like the rules don’t apply to me” says the pig who rides around all day driving on a laptop and speeds nonstop
Cant drive on a laptop
Tomes Smith stupid head
lil pump Best insult ever 11/10.
Wish they would do that here in my town, we have a ton of idiots on the phone
Too many police with nothing to do !
Texting and driving should be a 1000 dollar ticket so they learn. More than 6,000 people die a year cause of this. Just put your phone in the glove department and leave it there!
Second offence, how about banned from driving for a month (plus the fine)..
Yeah this is more harsh than a dui. Let’s fix that first
“Don’t give money to the homeless” is this a law?
Ninjaslash52 _ Some cities have this law.
Stop issuing tickets and start issuing a three strike system. Three strikes for distracted driving and you lose your licence for good.
Nik Murphy are you 80 and angry? Change your adult diaper you’ll feel better
This is GENIUS!!! Good job police!
I agree 100% , I am a retired Termite & Pest Control Operator and Company Owner the phone went every where I went when cell phone came out. Then texting and so on. I never text not one word while driving. Company policies included the same and I would fire a person for that reason after warnings.. One thing I might add though is I think the police who I have seen doing that very thing should also be held to that same law.
This is why I use the “hey Siri” feature for iPhone.
It's about creating revenue. Has nothing to do with safety.
In california, they only make money from vehicle registrations (cops do) Thank you

1554coltsfan its that kind of mindset that gets people killed
Godwin's Law lol
1554coltsfan no intelligent response because you know your wrong.
Godwin's Law that's "you're," Mr. Intelligent.
$162 for a first offense is ridiculous!
Well, don't do it, simple as that lol.
You are right. License suspension for six months would be much better.
Would you prefer $50 and a police beating instead?
I 100% agree that it's dangerous to use your phone while driving. As they say that people think that the rules don't apply to them when they do. But also the cops do it too, half the time I see a police officer looking and typing stuff into their laptop while driving, shouldn't the law apply to them too?
Thank you to the Police department who did this sting you are helping save lives by doing this
Kinda dumb CBS videos won't load on their website with an iPad, so I have to go to TH-cam.
Police: I AM NOT HOMELESS
CBS: POLICE POSES AS HOMELESS MAN
Crazy how I live in Palm Springs Florida and I see police everyday on their cell making calls and so on and nothing happens to them. Two wrongs don't make a right.
There exempt
They’re exempt from that law as long as it’s work related. Sometimes officers have to be called for some information because it can’t be relayed over the radio.
That lady cited twice is a bus driver!! Look at her uniform
It's NOT that people don't think that the rules don't apply to them. It's that people think THEY are the only ones who can do it without actually being distracted.
If this happens in south florida/Miami..... they'll make millions in a short time..... the drivers here are HORRIBLE drivers and using their cell phones at the same time ☠
Phones should not work when traveling in a car over a certain speed above walking. I said this 15 years ago.
Gah damn California’s streets are jacked tf up
Only $285 for a 2nd offense?! In Missouri going just 10 over the speed limit (with a clean record) can cost upwards of $300.
Sometimes I get more distracted looking at another person texting!
Those people need to be arrested for bribing officer 😁😁
As a biker (only from of transportation) I will say 75% of people on the highway are on their phones ether texting or talking BUT cops acting homeless / camping out at Wal-Mart exits is too far.. I don't want to walk (drive) on my tip toes because of undercover cops. Plus now we have real hobos fake hobos AND cop hobos. What's next?
Its not against the law to give anyone money. Its your freedom to choose to give or not. Doesn't matter if someone makes a law a law doesn't mean its right.
In the UK you get a £200 fine and 6 points and if you get 12 points on your licence you will get it taken away, and if your a new driver 6 points will get it taken so if your in your first 2 years of driving and get caught just once they’ll take your licence, and even if your more experienced just getting caught twice will get your licence taken
Lmao i bet some of them pulled their phones out just to avoid the shame of looking at the homeless people and not giving them any money
