re: Louisiana bill to ban cell phones while driving advances to House

If it is not a primary offense, how will they prove you were using your phone?

Will they be able to confiscate your phone at a traffic stop and look through timestamps?

The bill specifically says law enforcement officers cannot use this law to seize or search your phone at a traffic stop. It says the officer must have a “clear and unobstructed view” of you using a phone while driving.

I think it’s unlikely to make a huge difference but it’s past time to “officially” ban handheld phone usage while driving, IMO.
