Brickbat: Keep Both Hands on the Wheel

Former Lake County, Florida, Sheriff's Office Deputy Tristan Macomber resigned after rear-ending another car while on duty. An Internal Affairs investigation found Macomber was looking at something "not safe for work" on his phone before the crash happened. Macomber at first said he was scrolling through a group chat with other deputies on his phone before admitting he was looking at pornographic material.

According to the linked article, Deputy Dumbass was also found to have not been using his seat belt, plus he was clearly engaging in distracted driving, both of which are violations of state law in Florida. Let's see if criminal charges are forthcoming, or if Deputy Dumbass is allowed to get a job with a different department.
Okay, now re-think your view on driverless cars.
What if that guy had been in charge of sending out driverless cars.

NSFW to police would be an article decrying qualified immunity.
Pretty sure rear ending another vehicle isn't safe for work either.
Look out the window... *don't* look out the window... it's lose-lose!
He was watching Our Cummander in Chief humping Queen Spermy Daniels!! Twat could be more PATRIOTIC than that?!?
This is an OUTRAGE!!! Back the blue!!!!
Lots of rear ending going on.
Don't fap and drive.
"Macomber at first said he was scrolling through a group chat with other deputies on his phone before admitting he was looking at pornographic material."
This could very well have been one and the same thing...
what's nsfw for cops?
The Constitution?
He might have had a more difficult time with this had he been required to age-verify with ID before he started streaming while driving. Just saying.
