Default Re: Police can legally use a mobile phone while driving

Yes it is legal for police and other emergency services to use a mobile phone while driving for work related matters.

Having said that, with privileges comes responsibility and trust me when I say that if we were in an accident whilst on a phone there would be greater consequences for us than the average road user.

You need to understand that for the police and other emergency services the volume and complexity of information that needs to be passed is either too sensitive or not able to be passed over the radio.

Additionally, think about it. A phone in your hand or a microphone, what is the difference?
