“Hello, Police? I saw a man grab a little girl and take her in his van. I can’t see the license plate so I am following him. What? I’m breaking the law and must pull over and stop before I can talk on the phone? Oh, OK. Hold on a minute.”

My recollection is that there's a specific exemption in the law for situations where a person is involved in an emergency communication with law enforcement.
