Well, in his defense, he sat behind me at a stoplight for about two minutes and I could see him typing in on his laptop before the light turned green and he threw on his lights. Very pleasant fellow, and no "spring chicken" by any means. He looked to be perhaps in his mid 50's and probably had a good thirty years patrol experience. But I will tell you that I see a whole lotta cops typing in on their laptops while driving.
