But I will tell you that I see a whole lotta cops typing in on their laptops while driving.
Last time I was stopped (not in a Cobra as I don't have one yet!) the policeman called me by name as well.
I understand that here (South Australia) the police have number recognition software, scanning all the time. I don't have a problem with that either.
Incidentally I was stopped for having my fog lights on. It was late afternoon, in winter, with light rain.
