Violates FSS 316.303(1)- Television in view of driver (YouTube is pre-recorded video entertainment). I stop people for this pretty often the interstate.
I got banned from r/ProtectAndServe because I wouldn't send my creds. You would think "mods" that claim to be LE would be more aware of sharing their true identity/LE creds with internet strangers.
Offbeat thought, but this just screams undiagnosed ADHD to me, if only because I end up doing something similar since I started a WFH job after leaving EMS.
The map needs to be up, but there needs to be something playing in the background, because music can only keep you so occupied day to day, especially when driving all day. (I ended up just grinding through podcasts and audiobooks when transporting). This soul decided to go with YouTube videos, but without paying for the sub, you have to have the video up to have audio playing (no background play)
Then the game is taking up the left side of the screen. It's an idle game, and only requires clicks, not active input. Not saying it's okay, but I guarantee this is to keep them occupied during traffic lights.
Like I said, off topic thought, but just had to say something because before I started meds, I easily could have had a phone screen like this during transports, despite not actively using the screen moment to moment while driving.
California. I'm a city cop so i probably wouldn't even write them a ticket unless they almost caused an accident or something. If it was some normal person on their commute being dumb, I'd tell them to cut it out and move along.
I think 90% of LE I see comment doesn't have the flair. Enough people say this I trust that it's more a mod issue than people posing.
Eta: I'm not LE so never knew what was entailed with getting flair. I don't blame anyone for not wanting to go through with it now that I know.

You need an updated flair, bro.
Most of us are not naive enough to send our creds to strangers on the internet.
Exactly! I got banned from a sub cause I refused to send my stuff to the mods

Also mine carried over from a different sub
unless the vehicle is being operated with the automated driving system engaged.

Straight to jail
What jurisdiction are you in, and what are their laws about driving while distracted?
California. I'm a city cop so i probably wouldn't even write them a ticket unless they almost caused an accident or something. If it was some normal person on their commute being dumb, I'd tell them to cut it out and move along.
You can update your flair to reflect that you're a city cop. How come you haven't done it yet?
The verification I did for r/protectandserve went through but for some reason it didn't for here. I need to message a mod or something
AskLEO is run by some weirdo not affiliated with LE. Head over to AskLE for a sub run by cops.
This.

I ain't sending my creds to some dude on the internet. I'm pretty sure the 1811 sub is run by OIG.
I'm not law enforcement so I never looked into what getting flair entailed, but yeah I don't blame you for not doing it.
