Blow up the pic, you can see the phone in his left hand. You can also read some
of the numbers on his back fender, and part of the license plate.

Go for a ride-along.

As much as I hate to admit it, those guys are very good drivers.

It helps that they don't have to worry about things like speed limits and turrn signals like us mere commoners do.

"According to the Minnesota Department of Public Safety, Gerhartz indicated he had just finished a traffic stop and was entering information into his laptop computer moments before the crash. Gerhartz reported he did not see the stop sign and attempted to stop his vehicle before the collision. When the investigation is complete, the crash will be reviewed both internally by the State Patrol and by the appropriate prosecuting agency."

Motor Officers are some of the best professional riders out there.

BTW- LEOs are exempt from texting while driving/riding laws.

He'll get a warning for getting caught.

Doesn't look like a state police uniform and city police only care what state police think in low budget movies - neither has authority over the other.

I do agree that the guy seems to be looking at his phone, not his watch.
