Driver cited for distracted driving near pedestrians 

Transcript:
Mine all works out. Have you good morning. But I mean you have everything from, you know, 76 to 1087 to work. Typically for a careless, I write at like 100 bucks because I kind of used like careless as a way to charge people for like inattentive driving. Meta 2 relocate to Maine and Savannah. Like if they're on their phone and they're all over the road as a result, and being on their phone, I just write them for careless. Because there's no, like, hands free law. So it's all kind of dependent on how severe it is. I mean, at a certain point, you're just looking at reckless driving. So you just go that route with it. And for in-state people, careless is sometimes a good way. to, like, lump a bunch of violations together, like moving violations, because it saves them on points. But I'll hit them with a fine amount, you know, but kind of spare their license from the points and spare their insurance. Can you use that instead of a speeding ticket to avoid points? If you're going to do careless, you have the... show there's, you know, a disregard of safety of either themselves or others. So you've got to have a little bit of something extra than just speeding. Engine 231? Yes, ma'am. Did you receive this call from a third party? It was from an employee at Parker's. I'll let's say they're speeding on Center Street in the, you know, broad day when there's a, you know, slow to pedestrian traffic. Then you could write for careless. Probably if they were an employee at parkers or a third party that just drove by, all they gave was across from the waste management building filling of the parking lot. Same thing, they're using their phone, and it, you know, inhibits their ability to drive. Then, yeah, that's a slam dunk one, you know. Cockney at dispatch. We searched the parking lot of the parkers. They were no lack of water leak. A few hours ago, NG21 and I responded to 8,000 farm mail commerce for a civil incident. We didn't find anything in the parking lot here either. We're going to go ahead and clear it was that felony. I wrote a care list yesterday because I didn't want it to go on their insurance. So I did that. It was going 46 and 25. This is my question. Yeah, I mean, it's all kind of dependent, right? Like if the only thing you have is speeding, and, you know, he's the only one in the area and there's nobody else, like, on foot in the area, then it's just a speeding ticket. But if you have, like, other factors that kind of show, like, a disregard for safety, then go careless. 5.11. I typically will use kind of reserve careless for, you know, people in town that are kind of just being stupid. The kind of lady who was, like, staring at her phone and not the road, which is full of pedestrian, when she was on Center Street. So for that, I wrote her Careless. But just read the statute. You've got to have a little bit more than just, like, a single violation. Careless is not a substitute for just speed or just failure to maintain lane. You know, just the manipulating of the phone, right? But if they're manipulating the phone and it's impairing their ability to drive as in, you know, they're weeding all over the fucking road, then write them for careless. Because they're using their phone to the point where they're unable to safely operate a vehicle. So then you're good. But like if it's just a single violation, just write for the violation. Careless need to, you know, you need to more factors involved.
