• While these devices are great tools giving the police and all of their users that edge they can serve as distractions to the driver or motorcycle rider and the safety aspect of that must never be forgotten. We can't see police and ambulance motorcyclists having accidents because they were reading an update or accepting a job on a data terminal, in that case a mobile phone would be far safer.
  Finally all the police need is support from the courts and the law makers themselves, I mean there is no point having all of these toys if law breakers aren't properly punished is there?

  • If punishment stopped people breaking laws, and laws could be created without the law makers financial interests in mind, your view would be quite correct Grumpy Middle Aged Man. But that just isn't so.
    Also, when it comes to this technology (FYI - technology is based on logical progression/Improvement), hands free, voice recognition and the like are sure to make their use safer and for efficient. It all comes down to moving with the times and growing ones understanding. Crying out to 'authoritarians' for the punishment of those who picked the short straw hasn't been useful since the dark ages.
