BERLIN (AP) — Forget texting while driving. German police say they nabbed a driver who had wired his Ford station wagon with an entire mobile office.

Saarland state police said Friday the 35-year-old man was pulled over for doing 130 kph (80 mph) in a 100 kph zone while passing a truck Monday.

Built on a wooden frame on his passenger seat they found a laptop on a docking station tilted for easy driver access, a printer, router, wireless internet stick, WLAN antenna, and an inverter to power it all.

A navigation system and cellphone mounted to the windshield completed the array.

Since there was no evidence he used the office while moving, he got away with a €120 ($153) speeding ticket and a possible fine for having unsecured items in his car.

I do have to agree about the cop car ;-) The first time I saw their set up I was a little confused. Even if not using while moving it has to be a little distracting. I can see this working well for a drug rep or similar jobs...but maybe in the back seat.

I'm more concerned with the bottles all over the passenger side floor..Are those "water" or "vodka; etc"??? Besides; If the were truly successful, he would have a good looking hottie in the passenger seat..Ha !!!

I don't see the big deal, most police cars have computers, radios, and such built into the passender seat area.

Well, I'm sort of jealous. I have wished many times that my office could be just driven away from annoying subordinates. . .
