October 26, 2011 - You know, I see police on their cell phone all the time and frankly, this is absurd. Since when did the servants become our masters? So, it is with baited breath that I bring this discussion. According to reports a driver involved in a deadly crash, while talking on a cell phone could be facing homicide charges.

Now, here the facts are that the cell phone prompted the cop to make a stop. According to Concord Police 25 year old Mauro Gutierrez was seen by a Concord police officer talking on a cell phone without a hands free device on Hillsdale Drive, in the vicinity of Overhill Road at approximately 5:45 on Tuesday.

So, the selective enforcement of this law, led to a death. The officer attempted to stop Guiterrez, which turned into a chase southbound on Grant Street until the Highway 242 off ramp. This is where Guiterrez struck another vehicle resulting in the death of the driver of that vehicle.

Gutierrez then attempted to run and was caught approximately a block away from the crash. The 25 year old was arrested and allegedly was in possession of an illegal handgun. According to Concord Police, Gutierrez could be charged with second degree murder and will most likely face other charges for driving recklessly, fleeing from a police officer and violating the cell phone hands free law. The identity of the driver that was killed in the collision has not been released pending notification of their family. What do you think? Do you see my point about how the government needs to know the law and keep it well?

Anyways, I have been discussing these types of cases as a speaker for the personal injury attorneys at Ehline Law Firm PC at 633 West Fifth Street, 28th Floor, Los Angeles, CA 90071. 213.596.9642. Whether a motorcycle accident, or wrongful death, negligence it was propels your injury claims.
