I can understand where you’re coming from. However, one little potential wrinkle - what if a person who gets into an accident that some LEO misidentifies the cause as being from distracted driving due to a phone (the phone is found on the seat next to the driver and it is assumed that was the cause)? LEA’s are driven by revenue generating situations, right? How does the person who is wrongfully accused of this defend themselves? There must be some parameters for when someone can be charged with distracted driving due to a cell phone or other item. That’s my 2 cents anyway.
I don’t know if it’s universally true, but my cheap li’l cell phone logs the time and date of incoming/outgoing calls and texts. Defense Exhibit A, your honor...
Easy, pull the phone records. If you weren’t on the phone, you weren’t using it and it’s not a cause of the accident. They pull phone records all the time to determine if someone was talking on a cell phone when an accident occurred.
