Comments on: Coppers Ask For Equal Treatment On Texting Ban While Driving https://boiseguardian.com/2012/02/28/coppers-ask-for-equal-treatment-on-texting-law/ A different slant on the news. Sat, 21 Apr 2012 00:25:55 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: roland https://boiseguardian.com/2012/02/28/coppers-ask-for-equal-treatment-on-texting-law/#comment-30147 Sat, 21 Apr 2012 00:25:55 +0000 https://boiseguardian.com/?p=7918#comment-30147 Texting? Who cares about that. What are those big computer screens I see in the cars they drive that they always seem to be looking at? Eliminate those things first. In fact, from what I have seen in this town, why is there a need for cops at all? All I ever read about is DUIs and sex crimes by perverted 19 year olds and their 17 year old girlfriend. It sounds like the average citizen here doesn’t want a police dept anyway so save us the money and get rid of them. Boise you can count your lucky stars in one respect: for those of us from other large cities with gang and race problems, this is the biggest milk toast town I have ever seen. When the life expectancy of a 7-11 clerk is 90seconds, it’s kind of hard to take these comments too seriously. Texting? Who cares? Get a life. Or a job.

We had a young man on his way to Caldwell High die in a head-on collision with a fully loaded school bus. Another young lady lost her life by driving her car into the rear of a big truck on I-84 recently. I’m not going to believe it will stop texting totally if it becomes a law but it will give most people pause to think about their actions. I don’t care if the person texting is killed or maimed but innocent people are in the mix here. Cell phones are a great tool but there is a time a place for all things and text messaging while driving is not a good idea with or without a law banning this activity.

Keep me safe and do not let them text!

EDITOR NOTE–The amendment REMOVED the exemption for coppers at their own request.
