I haven't seen anything that shows that is the case.

Well as part of the training process officers go through, they take specific driver training. It's largely focused on pursuits and high speed manoeuvres. Not really a section on "driving while using the computer - dos and do nots". I'm sure there's guidance, but not specific training.
The exception is focused on doing their jobs (along with EMS, Fire, etc). Like running red lights, exceeding the speed limit and illegal turns. It's part of the reality of certain professions. Is there a risk in using the computer while driving? Yes. If the officer is involved in a collision/accident and they were using their computer, they're going to have to show that using the computer was to perform functions of their job AND that the officer needed to use the computer at that moment.
It's a measure of reasonableness.
