Deputy Who Fatally Struck Cyclist While Answering Email Will Face No Charges 463
Frosty P writes The LA County District Attorney's Office declined to press charges against a sheriff's deputy who was apparently distracted by his mobile digital computer when he fatally struck cyclist and former Napster COO Milton Olin Jr. in Calabasas last December. The deputy was responding to routine work email when he drifted into the bike lane and struck and killed Mr. Olin. An official with the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department said it is launching its own probe into the deputy’s behavior.

He was on his mobile digital computer at the time, it's hardly his fault.

The deputy did put a knife in Olin's hand, so it was self-defense.

I've known some backwoods types, but when you start confusing a deer's hindquarters and a woman's pelvis, it's time to get into town more!

You must have very small Deer in the US.
US deer are grazers so their heads tend to be low to the ground despite standing much taller. We dont have carnivorous deer that go for our hearts like you seem to have in Germany.

Clearly it was an accident.
Police officers must get special training to be able to work computers, talk on cell phones, do all kinds of things while driving.
Otherwise, it makes no sense that they are exempted from the laws that say drivers can't use these devices while driving.
