In California and other states, it is now illegal to use any handheld
device while driving.
Does anyone have any experience with this yet?
My questions are: Do the police have the right to search your car for said cell phone? Do they have the right to check if cell phone was actually in use?
When in court to dispute an officers claim, how can the courts seopena
your phone records for proof?
Seems to me that there are way to many grey areas in this law, not to mention a costly difficult task for the prosecution to prove you were actually
using a cell phone, if you deny using one.
Or is this law going to be enforced like they do the seatbelt law. The cops word is always taken as truth.
Any ideas on how to beat this ticket?
