Please cite me the exact law.

The public is sick and tired of public servants acting above the law. You know better than to be texting and driving especially with a job related van at risk. What if you killed someone? What if you/TOB were sued for damages? We the public have to bail you out with our hard earned tax dollars.
The snob attitude runs deep and runs wide and there is little to no accountability left. This is the problem - do you not understand or see it?. Rather than admitting fault and appologizing for your error - you make excuses and justify it - sounds like my 4 year old.

Jealous?!?! Hahahahahaha, then become a public servant. Oh by the way that means you have to pass a test, so stop living in mommy's basement a.d start studying for a career other than target!

Why does the TOB need a Fire Marshal when Nassau County has them ? Just more payroll ?

[Prrooooovvvveee it]

We have YOU saying he was texting, but YOU have no proof. Unless of course he is one of those weirdos who texts with the phone up in the air for all to see which nobody does. just think, if you were to text while driving - you would hold the phone down so you can see the display, right? In a van nobody would ever be able to see the phone because you are up higher than cars.

You sound like a BIG, FAT F-CKING LIAR !

No, it says the operator of an emergency vehicle may not drive recklessly;ie. consciously disregarding the risk involved in an activity such as texting.

[UnregisteredNoMoe]

It's like the law of eminent domaine. If you live near a fire house and we want your property, you lose your house. We bulldoze it for our new garage. Ha, ha.

[Unregisteredbullshit]

Who ever made up this texting story is a liar looking to mix it up. You are completely misinformed and wrong. Go back to your Community Pride spot.

I think you will hard to justify STEVE BELLONE s Town Fire marshal vehicles as emergency vehicles. They are not. And furthermore they should not be! Their response is NEVER an emergency!!!

And I know Jim HaRRington did not author that thread. His emergency response to a tavern in Huntington when he was Highway Superintendent and the subsequent total of his Crown Victoria (red lights & siren included) would most likey be brought up!

And he wasn't texting, he was eating a Whopper!

No, he's not a Commissioner anymore. That's why he came back to the Fire Marshalls. Cheat the New York Pension system, scam retire, and come back to be in charge. That's how he did it.

[TOBRES]

The law states use due reguard.....If he was texting he was not useing due reguard....But then again hes a nbfc member they never use due regard for anything... just like today driving that race car around town with JR's on the back...... real smart let me tell ya guys!!!!!!

TOBRES you got it wrong. It wasn't a North Babylon Fireman who crashed. Most of the part time guys are from North Babylon, but the guy that crashed was from East Farmingdale. He crashed Joes look-alike-arson van

At least when I crashed the mystery female took a powder and beat it before the sector car arrived. Not to mention the million dollar bond passed to pay the insurance settlement resulting from my ,hiccup, lapse of judgment.
