The fact is many LEOs already check the cell phones when there’s an autobile accident. It’s the primary factor that caused the accident. No need to make it a law for LEOs to be able to seize it during an accident anymore than they need to make a law for you to breathe. It’s clearly evidence of dustraction, inattention, and unawareness at the time of impact. But i do understand what you are saying; no need to make a law for this type if thing. The government us already legislating us to death under this administration though the low- inormation voters dont seem to understand the trap that is being lid or them. But you know as well as I do how those wacky retarded libs are about making rules for everyone else but themselves though.

This is where I don't understand the legal rationale of many of this bill's supporters. It's only "clearly evidence of distraction, inattention, etc." if the LEO witnesses the motor vehicle accident. Otherwise, he/she has no basis to make any determination about whether the cell phone had any relationship to an accident.

I once got pulled over by a cop who thought I was talking on my cell phone while driving. I was able to talk my way out of a ticket because I didn't even have my phone in the car with me. What happens if I'm a driver involved in a motor vehicle accident and my passenger is talking or texting on a cell phone when the accident occurs?

This proposed law is an unmitigated disaster, and -- as is the case with many laws in a place like New Jersey -- will ultimately end up being completely unenforceable.
