come on Kev,

Surely you must realize the abuse that will come from police abusing this new opportunity they have to harass the law abiding public.

Did I mention a meter maid give me a ticket yesterday because one of my tires was parked a .5 inch outside of a white line that was barely visible on a broken curb.

Where there is power, there will be abuse. I have seen police pulling people over like crazy over the past few days, more so than usual, arresting people, etc. My guess is, the new cell phone law is going to be taken advantage of and there will be a change to the law that will either:
a) Not allow police to pull over a driver for only being on a cell phone.
b) Not allow any evidence that is seized during a cell phone stop to be used in an unrelated crime case.

Again, I'm not an attorney, but lawyers love laws just like this because of the abuse police depts exhibit when new laws come in.

ACLU will be along soon I'm sure cause people like me don't consider it an extra added benefit. I would consider it a potential abuse of my civil liberties.
