If he ticketed me he had better be prepared to show up in court and swear under oath how he could magically see into up into my SUV from sitting much lower in a patrol car and be able to tell through my tinted windows in the couple seconds he was beside me that I had a phone in my hand as opposed to another dark object such as a wallet or eyeglass case and I was using said phone to text as opposed to simply holding it.
Are you planning to lie under oath, Mr Clinton?
He will get time off or overtime for his time in court. Either way, he wins and the taxpayers lose. That is how wonderful our system of crime fighting works here.
All he has to do is get a copy of your cell phone records, which will document the date and time of your activity on the phone, if you were on the phone.
If you were not on the phone, the charges would be dropped.
In Georgia you would also get a ticket for having tinted windows. You could go to court but my experience is that the judge will ignore any defense you might present unless you have a lawyer.
If a cop can't see through your tinted windows, that will get you a ticket all by itself in most states.

He will simply recite your confession , “sorry” or “but I was at a stop light!” or whatever fits the bill ,,, doesn’t matter if you said it or not , the $$$ is all that matters.
