Webmaster SW Chicago Burbs 22807 Posts Member since: 2008/1/7 0:00	http://www.nydailynews.com/news/natio ... rnia.html?r=news/national Quote: Rodney King, whose videotaped beating by cops became a symbol of police brutality and ultimately sparked the 1992 Los Angeles riots, was busted for driving under the influence. Cops watched King, 46, commit "several traffic violations" while behind the wheel of a 1994 Mitsubishi before pulling him over on Tuesday afternoon, Moreno Valley, Calif., police said. King was arrested and booked on suspicion of driving under the influence. Cops said it wasn't clear whether King was drunk or high on drugs.

I agree that the people that have a phone planted in their ears need to stop and realize that they are either driving to slow for the conditions or have no clue about the other vehicles around them. I personally use a hands free, blue tooth system in both the Corvette and the Malibu and feel that I'm not distracted by short conversations on the phone while driving. But what burns me somewhat about these laws is that they are targeting only cell phones when there are sooo many other distractions as well. How about gals doing mascara and hair on the commute in the morning? I see this all the time. How about screaming kids and Moms swacking them in the back seat? How about navigation systems and other electronic devices in the car? Are they not a distraction too? Besides... All the money and effort to create laws for a technology that will be antiquated in ten years and replaced by something else.

Local police admit they will not waste time enforcing a law that is too difficult to prove. Great Laws! Its like our blue laws, can't sell beer or hard liquior on Sundays.

Yea, and Pa. still has State Stores and beer distributors. You can buy 2 six packs in a bar but if you want more, you have to take the 2 out to your car and come back in.

You could shot a man for stealing your horse but you could not bury the body on your property.
