CYNTHIA: IT’S A TOUGH JOB IN THE RAIN BUT DEVANTE CLARK IS TRYING TO SAVE LIVES. >> I GOT A RED SEDAN HEADING EASTBOUND, POSSIBLY TEXTING WHILE DRIVING. NO SEATBELT, RED SEDAN. OFFICER -- CYNTHIA: OFFICER CLARK IS THE SPOTTER, LOOKING FOR DRIVERS LOOKING AT THEIR PHONE RATHER THAN THE ROAD. >> WHAT PEOPLE DON’T KNOW IF YOU’RE STOPPED, YOU CAN’T BE ON YOUR PHONE, UNLESS YOU’RE TALKING OR USING GPS, IT’S A TRAFFIC VIOLATION. CYNTHIA: DRIVERS ARE SO DISTRACTED, THEY DON’T EVEN SEE HIM OR OUR TV CAMERA. >> REMARKABLY I’M IN HIGH VISIBILITY GEAR AND THEY DON’T NOTICE ME. CYNTHIA: BUT OFFICERS WAITING AROUND THE CORNER QUICKLY GET THEIR ATTENTION. >> MOST OF THEM HAVE BEEN HONEST, AND SAY, I’VE BEEN LOOKING AT EMAILS, FACEBOOK, TEXTING. THEY WILL SHOW US. CYNTHIA MOST DON’T REALIZE IT’S : ILLEGAL TO TEXT UNLESS YOU ARE OFF THE ROAD PARKED IN A SAFE SPOT. EACH YEAR, ALMOST 3500 PEOPLE ARE KILLED AND 400,000 INJURED DUE TO DISTRACTED DRIVING. >> WHEN YOU’RE TRAVELLING 55 MPH IF YOU LOOK DOWN AT YOUR PHONE, YOU TRAVELLED THE DISTANCE OF A FOOTBALL FIELD, IT’S DANGEROUS. CYNTHIA: THESE OFFICERS ARE TIRED OF SEEING TRAGEDIES THAT COULD HAVE BEEN EASILY PREVENTED AND SAY GETTING A TICKET FOR TEXTING IS A SMALL PRICE TO PAY. >> THAT 100 DOLLAR CITATION COULD SAVE THEIR LIFE. IT COULD SAVE ANOTHER LIFE. >> IT’S JUST NOT ACCEPTABLE. PEOPLE NEED TO PUT THEIR PHONES AWAY WHILE DRIVING. IT’S AS SIMPLE AS THAT.
