The cop may have been a jerk, but he was within his right to stop the biker for using his horn.
Cops can't multitask any better than anyone else can, doesn't matter what their opinion of their ability is.Total 100% bull####. That moron had no business honking that quickly at a circle. What a freaking sanctimonious self important jack ass.
Aside from that, if that numb nut dumb #### can handle a clutch, throttle, front hand brake, rear foot brake, foot shifter, handlebar and his body position and sing that bad, all while blowing stop signs and speeding without hurting anything besides my hearing, a car driver can handle one foot and a steering wheel and a phone call.
Taze that bro.
If I may ...
Don't you understand? There is us and there is them. Simple as that. We are the unwashed commoner. They are above the law, and when not above the law, the law is written for them to be above the law ... exempting them from what we must OBEY.
I flagged MD code, but CO is almost identical in text.http://law.justia.com/codes/maryland/2010/transportation/title-22/subtitle-4/22-401

I just flick drivers off if they're talking on a handheld. I wonder if I could be sited for that?

Yet, police administrators put cameras, computers, gps, and all sorts of other distracting items in police vehicles. Don't be angry at the police for abiding by the law. In Maryland, there is an exception to the cell phone laws which allow law enforcement officers to use their phones.
Something tells me you would be very upset if a cop beeped their horn or stopped someone who wasn't breaking the law.

And how well do we multi task? The facts are people are on their phones, playing with the radio, smoking, eating, drinking and so forth, constantly, and if we can't multi task, very well, there'd be nothing but non stop wrecks.
As is, the biker over reacted and honked well before it was appropriate, contributing to the multi tasking.
They are both a-holes. but the cop takes the prize for being the biggest.
Yeah He didn't give the guy much time before honking, But the cop could Have given him his warning instead of standing there making a total ass of himself.
If jack ass had instantly and properly said 'sorry officer, my bad, I was in a bit of a hurry' instead of choosing to explain the law to John Law then it's over and done with, have a nice day. But, no. Mo Ron has to double down and give the cop the choice of saying HE was in the wrong or putting said jack ass in his place.
