These idiots were running wild here in New York City. It's about time the police started seriously enforcing the law.

Is the law there regarding hand-held, where a bluetooth earpiece would be okay; or is it totally banning all cellphone usage in moving vehicles?

9000 tickets at $120 each = $1,080,000 of tax free revenue. Budget shortage? What budget shortage? just ratchet up the tyranny a bit.

An easy way to make $1,081,920.00 in 24 hours.
I guess the city is much safer now that they taught these guys a lesson.

I will obey the cell phone law when they pass a similar law outlawing driving around with a live dog sitting on your lap. Please tell me why that is not at least if not more dangerous than a cell phone.
My cell phone doesn't decide to jump out the window while I'm doing 65 in traffic. My cell phone doesn't start licking my face, or start barking at the cell phone in the next car.
I use a cell phone with ear pieces and voice recognition. My cell phone certainly has never been as dangerous as driving with four children between 8 and 2.

I feel much safer now.

So you have gone Liberal? A government regulated behavior under penalty of a fine. What is wrong with applying a fine only to behavior that causes actual harm? Yankee idiots that ban the possession of firearms, and the use of personal communications devices are NOT conservatives. But thanks for all of your efforts for the Bluetooth laws. Plantronics (PLT)was a good buy in 1997 at $8 and change. They still pay a dividend to boot.

Maybe out on some country highway, it’s okay to hold a cellphone in one hand and steer and signal with the other. But here in crowded New York City, esp Manhattan, it’s a serious problem.

There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. - Ayn Rand

"Hands free devices are permitted here in NYC." Thanks.
I always use the hands-free when driving, as some communities have laws against hand-held, and you never know which town you are gonna find with the law in place, so you just play it safe.
Besides, it's way more convienient to not have to hold the phone on your ear and drive.

Its time the idiots on the NYC Council stopped harassing the poor bastards stupid enough to still be living there.
Out here in the FREE states, we talk on cell phones and even have handguns in our glove boxes, no permit required.
