An Indiana State Police Motorcycle officer texting while driving a motorcycle with no hands holding on the handle bar. I was so surprised about it i snapped 5 pictures of him. and took a 1 minute and 45 second video in the pictures. I made sure to get his badge and motorcycle number and license plate in the pictures.
When I got home i called my local state police headquarters and reported this.
This officer of 23 years was fired on the spot loosing his retirement pension and everything he worked for.
I didn't men for that to happen, he was also arrested and charged with endangering the public a class B felony. He could be looking at 10 years in prison again, I also didn't mean for that to happen.
I only wanted them to tell him: Do not to text while driving ever again for any reason.
I was told not to post any pictures or videos of him texting while driving online, if do I could face criminal charges. Because, their is an ongoing active investigation and the officer still hasn't had his day in court.
Pictures of this will violate his rights to a fair trial. I totally agree.
They said after he goes to court, then I can post them everywhere I want.
Here is a picture of a motorcycle like the one he was driving.
This is not the one he was driving. The one he was driving has been placed out of service until after the officer's day in court.
He was driving while texting for over 5 minutes, only looking up at the road one time during that time.
Its crazy, and it is illegal to text while driving in Indiana, but it needs to be illegal to use your mobile phone for any reason while the vehicle in in motion.
I never use my phone while driving. If it rings I let it go to voice mail if I get a text I wait until I get to my location, then read it. I usually switch off power when I get in to a vehicle that I'm going to drive, that way there is no temptation to look at my mobile phone.
Its not only my life I'm putting in danger, I'm putting everyone around me in danger. its just not worth it leave your mobile phone in your pocket if it rings let it ring do not answer it. if you get a text let it be until you get where your going or read it while stopped at a red light.
My Mum almost killed me herself and two of my children talking on her mobile phone while driving. She wasn't paying any attention to her driving and ran off the road hitting mail boxes then a tree. We were all lucky that we weren't hurt. She was arrested, fined 2.000 dollars, and jailed for 20 days. her drivers license were suspended for a full year and her vehicle was seized, meaning she didn't get it back. it was sold at auction. After that she never used her mobile phone in any vehicle again.
This officer gave up his whole 23 year careerer for a stupid text message, it could have been worse, it could have been his life or, the life of another driver(s).
I was also told Indiana State Police while reporting this, they are retiring the whole Motorcycle patrol force in 2020
their reason is: Its too dangerous on the roads for motorcycle officers.
If by chance the officer or his family reads this.
I did not mean for him to be fired and loose his pension or go to jail.
I apologize for that happening.
It's A Fact: Texting While Driving Kills More People Every Year Than Drunk Driving.
