Got mixed feelings on this one, Big Brother surveillance vs the dangerously irresponsible citizen.

But after a number of near-collisions with cellphoning or texting drivers, I’m leaning toward the cops if it’s not a means of revenue enhancement.

I have got no problem with this. Driving is a privilege, not a right. I don’t want the cops spying on us in our homes without a warrant, but bad drivers on public roads are a threat to public safety. Also, I have learned that bad drivers come from all socioeconomic groups. I have known people who are well educated and successful but cannot drive worth a crap.

No "leaning" here...
Just like laws against dealing drugs, or carjacking, or any other activity involving cars, which are often deadly, as far as I'm concerned, the more severe, the better.

I never engage in any of those activities...
