Cellphone crackdown: 113 tickets and counting

hmmm...Yeah, they should just stop people that are causing the real problems....like speeding or driving recklessly. Pulling over people and ticketing for using a cell phone....ridiculous. Might as well ticket them for listening to or changing the station on their radio....at least in WA it doesn't seem to be a primary infraction.

 

many times they are the ones speeding and driving recklessly

That may be true. But so are the women doing their makeup, so are the people eating that cheeseburger or drinking that coffee on their way to work. It baloney, no special law is needed.

 

thats a fair point too

 

Regardless of what the police and nimrods in Olympia say, its because they want money. They see this law as a potential cash cow like they did with that 'click it or ticket it' crap regarding seatbelts.
