Giving time for this to become more mainstream is the obvious answer to this "problem". I think the other issue is as others have said, how can they tell if you were sending or receiving? This reminds of those airport scanners that aren't really that much more effective but made a company with a government contract a shite ton of money.
And presumably it's detecting normal text messages, so messaging apps that use data like iMessage or Whatsapp wouldn't show up. If this becomes moderately effective all it will do is kill texting and chase people to internet messaging.

It seems like it would be a headache for a cop to try to give this kind of ticket out. At least if you stop someone for speeding you know they were speeding. In this case there are too many ways where you would be stopping someone where they are doing nothing illegal at all. I'd guess that if you scanned the road at any given time you could stop half the cars in site for sending or receiving messages. Maybe having another excuse to stop random cars is the real purpose, I just don't see these tickets holding up.
