Cop Pulls Tesla Model 3 Driver Over For 'Computer' Mounted On Dashboard

In the video above via InsideEVs, recorded on Sept. 29, Tesla Model 3 owner Jon Hall was pulled over and questioned about the giant laptop-like touchscreen seemingly tacked onto his dashboard.
When the officer first walked up, it seemed like Hall though the cop is joking when told he was “not allowed to have your computer mounted on there,” before quickly realizing the cop serious.
To be fair, the Model 3's screen is strikingly large, and since it’s the only prominent feature on the dashboard, it does stick out and draw attention to itself. Describing it as a computer tacked on isn’t exactly wrong.
After Hall explained that the screen came stock with the car and showed the officer how the touchscreen controlled most of the car’s functions, the officer apologized, maybe a little embarrassed at his lack of tech savviness, and let Hall go.

Ironically that thing is mounted just about in the same location as a police car's laptop .

...as the cop walked back to his patrol car with 2 huge laptops mounted to center console, video camera hanging from rearview, and radar sitting on dashboard

The cop's not allowed to randomly shoot black people but that doesn't stop him.

So we should strip out all communication equipment from police cars and just hand them a beeper and a handful of quarters for the payphone.

It does look hastily tacked onto the dashboard.

So the cop didn't shoot the guy because he was white. That is what you were getting at.

Amazing how being polite to a police officer can go well for both parties.

For those that don’t remember, when they first came out with the in car entertainment systems to keep the kids busy in the back seat, some idiots started mounting them up front. You would see people driving down the road and watching a movie. So they passed a law against having it in front and it went away. So I can see why he pulled this guy over.

yeah, don't know why this is remotely worthy of a mention.
Other than to make Tesla look like they build bigger POS cars then they already do.
