For any of you lawyers out there.....

You're stopped at a red light. You respond to a text. Cop is next to you, pulls you over and gives you a ticket.

Technically, you were not "driving", you were stopped at a red light.

Just happened to my son in LA.

Thanks in advance.

I'm NAL but if the car wasn't in park and keys were in the ignition, he was driving

Looks like he's paying his own insurance premiums now

Tell him to always open his GPS when he drives. Got me out of a ticket once.

That's the story your son told you.
He probably was like other teenager / millenial and swerving all over the lanes texting multiple friends all at once when the cop pulled him over.

This should be punishable by death if you're on Sherwood Forest Blvd during the day.

Nope. If behind wheel with car running you get popped. Saw a video where cops were dressing up as construction workers at intersections and popping folks left and right.

Wow, so because the vehicle wasn't in motion you don't consider it driving

He's not a teenager, and I believe him. No reason for me not too.

You can go back to watching Deliverance now.
