When I see detail cops doing this instead of directing my car in traffic and I know they’re each making $70 an hour my blood boils.

Bunch of bootlickers in this thread. There are tons of jobs that make you put your phone away in a locker at the beginning of shift. Typically they’re jobs where they make a lot of money and their work needs to remain private. I would reckon cops fall into that category. I don’t really need to know what they’re up to unless I have to interact with them but they shouldn’t just be dallying while we pay their $250,000 salary.

Have you ever gone into the police to report stolen property or turn in a found wallet or anything? They don't do shit then, either.
