If you are pulled over by Chapel Hill police officer for violating the town’s new ban on talking on your cell phone while driving –including using a hands-free version of a phone — here is what awaits you, in addition to the $25 fine.
Chapel Hill Police Chief Chris Blue has said a ban would be difficult to enforce since it would require officers to search a motorists’ cell phone. Police would have a heavy burden to prove a violation occurred, he said.
I look forward to seeing the video of a police officer rifling through a driver’s cell phone which will, no doubt, be taken by a passenger and posted for all to see. Welcome to Chapel Hill — a nanny-stater’s dream town.
