I understand the sentiment, but that's too broad for me. I don't like giving the police unlimited discretion in determining whether I have broken the law or not. Tell me what I can and can't do, and I'll act accordingly.
- ensignavenger 14y agoPolice never have unlimited discretion in determining whether or not you have violated the law- that is for a judge and/or jury to determine. Still, I agree with the sentiment- I think we need to focus on the sociology of distracted driving, rather than the criminology.

Maybe it's up to the judge/jury to determine if you broke the law, but this certainly gives police the right to pull you over because you looked "distracted". That's too ambiguous for me.
