Do As I Say... How Not To Text While Operating A Motorcycle

Last week in the Phoenix Arizona area, a 14-year veteran Officer of the Temple Police was caught on camera doing 80 mph while texting. When the story broke, Temple PD kept the name of the officer secret, however due to pressure he was later identified as Heith Fink. He was subsequently "disciplined". He should have been stripped of his license.
