maybe the van stopped short? maybe the cop was responding to a call and misjudged something and hit the van? who knows man you cant prove he was on his phone.
granted i do see a lot of cops on their phones but who knows what happened in this situation just from this picture

yeah the angle of the van kinda makes it look like the van cut the cop off, but sweet picture anyway that's right by my house.

cops receive training on driving while communicating. whats the difference between an officer using his radio and his cell phone. or how about a phone and their laptops. they are trained to multi-task and communicate. but everyone also does make mistakes

Well maybe people whould be taught to multitask as well in classes. Even though theres a law, people still use their cell phones, so why not assist the inevitable, or at least BMW/Audi drivers should be taught that since I always see a piece of plastic stuck to the side of their face.
And sorry, Police can take courses and be trained, but they arent super human, they are just like all of us, they can still slip up as well, a distractino is a distraction, even when trained, just means it's not as much of one.

I've always thought that the idea of "multitasking" was ********. You can only focus on one thing at once. Your attention can be split but your brain switches back and forth, even if it is very fast.
i dont get how we know the cop is in the wrong from looking at this picture? and its funny you title the thread in a way insinuating people (in this case cops) need to pay more attention while driving, yet you are driving and taking a picture while passing an ACCIDENT SCENE

pwned
cops are exempt from cell phone laws
Incorrect. Cops are permitted to use the cell phone while driving only in the course of their duties(IE contact HQ).

bingo, to expand upon this, i am allowed to answer my phone while driving, or at any time other than on an airplane, if it is the jail calling me.
technically, i am "required" to do so, not just allowed

Cops in the wrong because he clearly ran into the back of him, and 9 outta 10 times when that happens the person wasn't paying attention.....

u can see where the curb line is... just under the vans bumper, appears as the P71 is angled towards the driveway, looking as tho he got as close to the curb as possible and the van cut over IFO him

it looks a lot more like left front corner to right rear quarter panel to me... doesnt look like he was just following and not paying attention

me too....i was gonna say that....i work right on fort dix and we take a lot of our vehicle fleet around different shops in the area to be fixxed. I can agree that the cop was probobly on the phone. but do you think he wrote himself out a ticket. and of course the tax payers of mount maurel are going to pay for that one

Where does everyone get the notion that Police Cars don't have insurance? Yes the taxpayers pay for that insurance, but just because one car gets wrecked doesn't change how much more money comes out of the PD's budget. That money is budgeted each fiscal year and if a wreck happens the insurance company pays.

This is a common misconception that the Police are "out to get you!"
LEOs DO NOT MAKE LAWS, law makers and politicians make laws to get votes, 9 times out of 10 the law is completely outrageous.
