Be interesting to see how that plays out. The U-Turner should almost always be at fault.

Especially in a corner on a double solid line. Any normal person would get at least a careless conviction. I would be shocked if this cop doesn't get a pass. worst case realistic scenario for cop is a trial that the crown botches to ensure an acquittal.
Bus was full of kids. Witnesses said cop was on his phone at the time. No charges laid.

Since they didn't say what ticket, I assume they vastly undercharged (and then flubbed the trial to avoid a conviction).
It would typically be a "following too close" ticket and there's not anywhere down from there to go.
If you or I hit a bus (especially when playing on a phone), I would expect a careless ticket. Following too close may make sense if the bus was doing a panic stop at the time, but presumably it was slowing to let kids off with tons of flashing lights and lots of time for following traffic to adjust.
Nope. Not in my experience. Following to close is the go-to. If it doesn't get charged that way, then it gets pleaded down to it anyway.
