Does this mean using a cellphone while driving, as long as the contents aren't prohibited, aligns with the sheriff office polices?
Well they typically have computers used to look up license plate numbers and such, so I assume that aligns with policy on electronic devices.
Ha right, I was thinking of the use case where electronic device usage is authorized, just not while driving a car. Like watching hours of security cam footage for an investigation.
surely they have the passenger do that though… like you should never permit a driver to operate devices while driving - it’s just wildly dangerous, and for what benefit? perhaps you might have spotted something sus?
Passenger? Cops roll solo everywhere I've lived (US).
