This is kind of a two part question.
Cell phone usage while driving is committed everyday, we all see the campaigns don't text and drive etc. I do have to add, this is one of my biggest pet peeves. My question is can a MOS initiate a traffic stop without actually seeing the phone in use. Some examples I can think of: head tilted down, head tilts down and pops back up every few seconds, eye placement if you're close enough to them etc. Would this be enough to initiate a traffic stop and to cite someone?
How do you guys feel about people who use radar detectors? Again, another pet peeve of mine. Having one of those in my mind just already means that you will,are or going to break the speed restriction is that area. Which is against the law. I know in Virginia and DC radar detectors are illegal, do you guys think this should become more of a nationwide ban? What about jammers? Those are illegal in DC and Oklahoma. If you guys do pull someone over with one, do you take a different approach to them? It always seems that 95% of them are on some crappy civic with a muffler big enough to launch them into orbit, with a vehicle that's essential a high performance riding mower.
Also...do most people not understand what "Yield" means?
