If she is not stationary (And it is hard to tell from the photo) then this is a great advert for those who are supposed to uphold the law!
 
We are the people who comprise the police - not all of us are 100%. Statistics show that a fair percentage of the police force have or have had a criminal past. When Satellite GPS devices were installed in police cars initially, a number of male and female teams were found to be stationary for long periods in out-of-the way places.
Using a phone is dangerous - if she isnt stationary but you might expect it given they are us.
 
All for one and one for all........Or should it read....

One rule for all!

Looks like she's stationary.

Impossible to tell .. stationary in a layby or stationary in traffic?
One is legal, one isn`t.

Double yellows!! chances are she is illegally parked.

She was probably giving a demonstration of what not to do ;)
I was once told by a very senior Police Officer that the Police Service is made up of a cross section of the Community so that they can socialise with them.
Strange how the public react towards them tho.
They are demonised whenever given the chance but the first to be called when in trouble or need help.
 
Exactly EMcC. A somewhat childish post that maybe speaks volumes of the immaturity of the OP. Some people on here should grow up. Instead of seeing a picture on the internet and without any apparent further specific knowledge of the facts, run off at the mouth.

The OP has no idea of the circumstance of the PC having to use the mobile, she may have had no radio "net" and it may be that force of circumstance obliged her to act as she did and use another form of communication that was working and available to her.

In which limited necessity that the law still allows it. Which is in to contact the emergency services via 999 or 112 in an emergency and it is unsafe or impractical to stop.

So lacking a radio "net" she could well have been requesting by the only means then available to her an ambulance or the fire service to go to the situation she might have been responding to.

As you say, EMcC, demonised whenever given the chance but the first to be called when in trouble or need help.

I once saw a police 110 Defender do a u turn in front of me at temporary lights. He had his left hand off the wheel operating his phone, at the point he needed a gear change from 1st to second he let go of the wheel and changed with his right hand, so at this point no hands on the wheel, he nearly got a round of applause from the queue of traffic.

All as you say ES, perhaps she was in a Tizzy and that is why she is pushing her hair back with the other hand.

The police will be perfect at exactly the same time as all the rest of us are. We judge them with minimal facts, not knowing what they are responding to or what problems they are dealing with.

I work with the cops regularly, and though i am in the emergency services myself they do a job i could not, i would be up on a murder charge dealing with the low life that have to on a daily basis - the public are not nice people, simple as that, and that includes all of us. 80% of the calls in some city centre are scum on scum incidents, as they so eloquently put it. The police have to break the law to uphold the law, speeding to catch the bad guys as an example, get it right and nothing is said, get it wrong and we are all over them. It is a no win job.

FAC licensing is the same. They dont want to do it, the cost of the FAC does not match what we are charged for it, it is an outdated system and is understaffed. Then in Scotland the politicians add in air rifles and then cut the funding to the police. It gets worse when the staff facing this go off with stress because of the hassle. Interestingly, on this and other forums, we advise "friends" we have never met on how to get an open ticket for ground we have never seen, but a police officer has and believes it is not ideal for the 300 win mag the shooter wants for roe, or advise on how to get your FAC granted when you have been very naughty in the past. We then complain when these people tie up the team for months with claims, complaints and visits, and we cannot get a renewal done quickly. But mention an increase in costs and we wail our complaint.

Police bashing is easy, underfunded and stretched to the limit. I suppose we could send the picture of the cop on the phone to the chief constable, tie up a little more of their time investigating it, and then complain when they dont respond instantly on mad friday night to some anti social behavior, or someone stealing a bic pen at the local shop.

Rant over - lets stick to deer stalking.

Let's hope not FOURTH H and give her the benefit of using the 'phone in an operational circumstance where she had no "net" on her radio and took a measured judgement that the duress of the circumstance gave her no other sensible option. Sometimes radios don't work. And what then?

When the ban first came some ten years ago in I was stopped by the police on my mobile and allowed to explain the circumstance. Which they accepted. They gave me the benefit of the doubt then and so should we...without knowing the exact nature of the event...give it to that PC now.

she was sat in traffic when the photos were taken - so hardly an emergency and why would she be responding to a emergency if the radio were not working - how would she have known about it??? i think that you are somewhat clutching at straws here....

Well maybe her Force Control Room unable to get a "net" on her radio 'phoned her. You don't know, I don't know, the newspaper The Sun doesn't know.

Perfectly reasonable if she's attended an incident, and then not checked back in by radio, for the Control Room if they still can't get her on the radio for them to use another means to confirm that she's dealt with the matter and if all is OK.

Until she answers the call if she still can't get a "net" she doesn't know what it's for. If it's for that or a call directing her to an separate and immediate emergency incident.

Also, at one time, I don't know now, police radio communications were not secure. As kids we all knew how to listen in on then new VHF radios. That may if so be another reason.
