The New Cell Phone Law

[BnLM5]

the government has no right to do this kind of thing. Whether you agree with it or not, the constitution doesnt grant the federal government the right to prohibit you from talking on your cell phone whlie driving. Its been proven that driving a car while sleep deprieved affects your driving and decision making abilities as bad as or worse than if you were intoxicated to a degree that you were over the legal limit, so with that logic, they should be able to give you a ticket for driving while sleepy... doesnt matter that the law will undoubtedly cut down on the auto accidents, by how much is debateable, the governent just doesnt have the right to do that, and thats all there is to it.

OH and to Bn.. if you just dont admit to doing the thing the officer is accusing you of, you save a lot of time. So when asked were you (over the speed limit, talking on a cell phone, shaving, etc.) all you have to do is say no. If you say that you di the illegal thing, you waive your fifth amendment right to self incrimination, and ur prty much screwed) Also if they ask to search just say that you dont consent. Even if they try to linguistically trick you by asking do you mind if i search you car (most poeple would say no, which is actuallyt an affirmation to search it), anyway yea those two things might save you a few hundred in the future.

I did not say anything man I was telling Ringo that my daughter did. as she is 19 years old first ticket ever she was taught that honesty is the best policy. I realize you don't just rat your self out. But to be honest with you I have avoided more tickets than I have received by just saying Ya I was and that is a fact. Nonetheless I have no idea where you live but where I live if an officer of the law wants to do it he will! I think navuta said it perfect somewhere in this thread when he said they will do anything they want. They being cops.

Ringo did you find what you were looking for? I am curious though, whats up? Who got a ticket?

The only law here that they are passing is texting while driving. Not talking while driving.

I don't even own a cell phone anymore.
Good debate though.
I hven't even been pulled over by a cop in 20 years.
I like the idea if keeping an electic razor in the car.
Get pulled over for talking on phone and whip out the razor.
Watch out for being on candid camera though.

Lol that was in fact a true story!

You brought up this thread just for the sake of a debate? While I searched and found you credible sites to reference, with genuine concern that you may actually need advice. Ringo one of these days you are gonna think woof after your cried out wolf one to many times.

I can still say thanks though as it is helping me refresh my research techniques, and I am sure going to need them this semester. Thank God for Google cheats and such!

But did you even look at that site?

[freeringo]

I did read it and it is a very vague discription of the law.
It doesn't address the rights of the citizen or the extent of the law.
I would tell you if I got a ticket silly.

Yes it was just a list of frequently asked questions.

Like the some of the questions addressed in your original post.


KNOCK on wood I haven't been pulled over in about nine years.

And the last time was a financial issue tags and insurance which

eventually led to my arrest. Gawd what a criminal I am! I would like

to have a copy of my mug shots. I was nothing near the better side of

nice. Know that!

I think I like you even more, now that you have revealed your outlaw side.
Long live the outlaw.
