Local News Crew Refuses to Help Driver After Cop Goes Ballistic On Him

When the above footage was posted on the website and social media properties of West Virginia's WVNS-TV (channel 59) earlier this week, it caused such outrage that it was almost immediately pulled.

They DMCA'd the video. It's been pulled down.

Found it posted on Live Leak. It's still on their front page:

The telephone while driving law is going to get a lot of delegates retired.

Idiot law.

Suspect this was pulled because 59's lawyers saw it. When the reported became involved they opened themselves up for a lawsuit.

The officer could have earned the state a lot of good will by simply giving a warning. Are there ANY signs at or close to the borders stating this new law?

BTW, what is up with new signs on route 50 that are placed a few feet before or after the old signs? They spend so much more time setting the new poles instead of just taking down the old signs and replacing them.

New nationwide DOT regulations that require highway road signs to have 3M Diamond Grade reflective levels.

Many states are phasing it in now. Most are replacing old sign posts as they go.

The old signs will come down once all the new ones are in place.

Some manufacturers info from 3M:
