Cops driving using mobile phones.

Last night at 8pm on Itv's ''' Send in the Dogs '' there were two cops using phones while they were driving with one hand, one female one male.

The Male cop was actually chasing a car thief.
I have a lot of respect for the police, but surely this is not sending out the right message to drivers who are being constantly told not to use their mobiles while driving.

By the way, I thought it was an excellent programme.

The Home Office statistics show that in 2007 there were 656 road traffic accidents which involved the police, which is a big increase from the reported figure of 472 the previous year.
