ok.. so in the liberal states, where they ban all forms of communication devices while in the car, i would expect them to hold all people to this standard. this would include cops, who have been using radios in the car since the 40s. today, they have laptops alongside the full comms gear. the libs would have to do this to the police... unless the cops in lib states are above the law.

of course, since the police cannot use any communications... it might be difficult to respond to any calls... giving the criminals free reign to tear apart the libs states.

sounds like a good idea to me.

That's different. Police enforce the laws which keep the proletariat under control, so they should be exempted.

My son swears he glanced over at an officer one day and it looked like he had the myspace screen up on his computer.

But, cell phones are probably as distracting as talking to someone else or listening to the radio. Someone on another thread said they never talked on their cell phone again when they realized they could not remember the last ten minutes of their drive. I can listen to the radio and suddenly think, "Where was I going?"

I have not seen where any state has banned all forms of communication devices while in a car?
