This law is a waste of time (as assured to me by a cop)
Cop sees you in what he thinks you are texting, pulls you over, you just tell him you were making a phone call (still legal).
How is he going to prove you were texting ?
Take you phone from you to check your call/text history ?
Can't !
You can tell him to go pound sand.
Can't take your phone from you without a warrant.
Police dept going to spend tax dollars (they don't have) paying cops overtime to get your phone bill ???

Wrong.

He can't take your phone but if you get pulled over for texting(assuming you were not doing so) its in your best interest to show the cop your phone to prove you were not texting.If you do not show the cop your phone you have two choices,pay the ticket or you get your day in court.

If you go the court route its guilty until proven innocent just like any other traffic/parking violation.Its up to YOU to provide the cellphone records proving you were not texting,not the cops.

Its a totally enforcable law if the cops choose to pull people over for violating said law.

Drove into Boston today on the SE Ex'way and I was surprised that I only witnessed maybe 2 drivers texting, a normal day should have seen over 20....at least the 1st Monday of the law seems to be working?

Our project manager sealed a 1/2 million dollar job doing the crackberry thing on the way home.

Gotta love that technology !!!!!!!!!:love:

We can afford a few hundred in tickets if he got caught. :biglaugh:
