My student told the class this story a day or so ago.

I was tagging on with my partner one day, out patrolling and we came across a person driving very recklessly. Talking on her cell phone, speeding 20mph over, switching lanes with no blinker and passing on the right. So we stopped her. We go up to the car and do the normal license, registration and proof of insurance thing and she is still on her cell phone. She held up her finger and said hold on. Like really? Anyways after about 15 seconds I said “Ma’am please put down the phone and give me your license, registration and proof of insurance.” She took her phone away from her ear and started yelling “Can’t you see I’m on the phone?” (keep in mind she was very calm and just having a regular conversation because I overheard her say she made pot roast for dinner and ran out to get cigarettes) So I go to pull out my pad and click my pen and she all of sudden hangs up and says “Is something wrong officer?”
