York Regional Police officer caught on video apparently using phone while driving in ‘hypocritical act’
Unlike civilians, police officers mostly likely aren't breaking the law by using their phone behind the wheel — something legal and law enforcement experts find troubling.
What are they gonna do… arrest themselves?
I’m sure they’ll be fine with someone conducting a citizen’s arrest.
Wouldn’t work here
First they would have to attempt notifying police (this guy) of the offence
Then if nothing happens the citizen can arrest him in the act
However it’s not a criminal act unless it was dangerous driving. Distracted driving (eating, drinking, using the phone) are not severe enough for this
