Top detective fined after being caught on film using mobile phone while driving
Detective Constable Rod Carter fined after Greater Manchester Police launched probe in wake of clip appearing on social media earlier this year
THIS is the humiliating moment a top cop is caught on camera using his mobile phone while driving.
Detective Constable Rod Carter has now been fined after admitting using the device while behind the wheel.
Greater Manchester force launched a probe after footage was posted on social media earlier this year.
In the clip, a motorist, who suspects the officer of using his mobile phone, gets out of his car while both are stopped at a set of traffic lights to confront him.
He asks Carter, who has his phone to his ear: “What are you doing?”
The sheepish officer then ends his call and winds down his window.
The cameraman then asks: “Do you work for GMP? (Greater Manchester Police)”
