I think the whole thing about cell phones and driving is bull. Even when I'm not talking on my phone, I drive with one hand. Talking on your cell phone is the same thing to me as talking to someone in the passenger seat. If you can't drive a car without wrecking because of something so small and stupid, I feel sorry for you.
My opinion is that if you get into an accident because of your cell phone, you're probably an idiot in the first place and shouldn't be driving. As Dennis Leary said, "Life sucks, wear a ****ing helmet." But as far as taking a photo of cops doing the same thing, it won't help. I hate it when cops abuse speed limits, but no one's ever going to do anything about that either. I just hate hypocrites. People have the attention span of a mosquito these days.

Most phones have different time settings for the backlight. I have mine set to 3 minutes, but it has an always on setting and I have seen numerous phones with this setting also.

If you try to call the cop out on this, they will just try to get you for any other thing they can find to ticket you. It's a no win situation.

Plenty of other states have this dumb law against smoking in bars. If smoking should be allowed anywhere it's at bars. It's not like they're health clubs. |

ALL distractions.
We all drive several hundred pounds hunks of metal and plastic at 70+ mph within two feet of each other everyday........I'd say we're pretty safe. It's just another way to generate revenue for states that need the money. Tickets = money. It's not to prevent crime. It's all about the green. Real criminals don't have the money, we do. Why ticket a criminal that can't pay a fine?

see, the thing i can't figure out...what the hell can be so important that you can't wait to make a call?
turn on the radio, look out the windows, and oh i dunno...focus on driving. driving and talking on the phone is one of the douchiest things ever.

Well, I'm in California here and I know alot of Tankers are too. And as of July of this year, anyone with a cell phone MUST have a hands free device (bluetooth, headset). Well, in August I was ticketed for this. I had a bluetooth which the battery was dead, and I was using the phone, but I had it on speakerphone. Even though I did not have it near my ear, I was pulled and ticketed. The damn thing cost me near $100 bucks.
So, my real complaint is to ALL the police officers out there that abuse this law. All month long I see police officers on their damn cell phones, with the phone up to the ear. Absolute and utter BULLSH**. I wonder if there is anything that can be done about this, or if it is worth the time to report this. I wouldn't even trip if I didn't get ticketed, but since I did and lost about $100 that could of gone to Joes, I'm pissed and something WILL be said! And to the police officers that do this. If I see ya....SAY CHEESE!!!, cause I'll photo your ass and send it in. Don't give a shit if it doesnt't do a damn thing either. So, sorry about that, but had to vent.

But the lights dim or go off after 30 seconds.
I can understand the no texting while driving because your attention is diverted from the road, even when you dial the phone number, your attention is diverted. but hands free talking? Like previously said, that's like talking to a passenger in the car. But then again, this is California, the same people that made it illegal to smoke in a bar Quote:
I mean, if I want to go to a casino or bar should I have to put up with being poisoned because someone else feels entitled to foul up the air? no... of course not.

That can be justified, we don't know when they're going to a call or whether or not they're trying to catch up to someone. If they're on the phone, they're directly disregarding their duty. The chief can get ahold of him/her via radio, a cell phone would be personal.
