In other tech news, how long before a detector comes out for this?

Still, you know that cop may be checking your speed. Soon, however, he might be using that radar gun to check whether you're texting. A company called ComSonics is working on a radar gun that can pick up radio frequencies that identify texting drivers.

What's fascinating about this technology is that it can allegedly distinguish between texting and calling. In ComSonics' home state of Virginia, for example, texting and driving is illegal, whereas talking on the phone and driving is not (for adult drivers).

How would it differentiate passengers from drivers?

Read this a few weeks back...

How would it differentiate between drivers and passengers?
How would it know whether you were receiving or sending?
Seems like a shite ton of grey area that can be easily contested. Plus, judges have ruled that cops cannot make you unlock your phone for them.

This is retarded. As others have pointed out hands free texting apps are built into cars now and apps like imessage and hangouts don't use traditional sms signals but regular data instead.

What is it actually detecting, you typing or the text actually going out? Seems like unless you catch them at the exact second it goes out, something like that would be useless
