...i would expect them to hold all people to this standard. this would include cops, who have been using radios in the car since the 40s.

That's different. Police enforce the laws which keep the proletariat under control, so they should be exempted.

“...hold all people to this standard. this would include cops, who have been using radios in the car since the 40s.”

Anyone who knows anything about operating a radio knows that you keep conversations short and to the point. Emergency personnel do not gab on their radios. Dumb comparison.
