Cop cars laptops can show him Youtube? Can he also tune in "Dancing
with the Stars?" and "Howard Stern?" That's likely the kind of garbage
that moron would watch.

 
If he had a smartphone with internet connectivity he could run a web
browser on the smartphone and watch any kind of streaming content
including YouTube.  If he had a tablet with a built in LTE cellular
modem, he could also use the tablet for watching YouTube.

Whether the phone or tablet was issued by the police department or was
owned by the officer for personal use is unknown.

When things go badly, that is construed as criminal
negligence. As well it should be.

It would be nice if the court would suspend his drivers license and
give him a desk job.  Have him drive to work on a bicycle and see how
long he survives.  If that's too harsh, maybe put him on a freeway
debris cleanup crew.  The punishment should fit the crime.

He killed a guy. Put him in prison.

Here (not that here is necessarily better) the police have been
instructed to being a charge of attempted murder for causing a road
accident where people are killed in car accidents during the Sonkran
Festival (something like a combined Christmas and New year in your
country)

I'm for prison for any kind of distracted driving. Alcohol, drugs,
holding a phone to their ear. Down here in Florida we have morons
driving around with their dog sitting on their lap and hanging out the
driver side window.
