Cell crimes

Cell crimes

: So I was listening to Al Franken’s Air America show the other day and he got a call from a guy in New Jersey who, in the middle of the call, is obviously pulled over by a cop for talking on his cell phone while driving, which is now illegal in my fair state. The guy starts protesting. Al gets all excited with this historic moment: Man arrested for calling talk show! But the guy hangs up. Al’s disappointed (would have made great radio: police state, free speech, technology, all that).

Well, you can’t get pulled over just for talking on the phone just yet, so he had to have been doing something wrong….like speeding.

Uh, no it’s not. Google tells me that the use of a $14.00 handsfree headset makes talking on a cell phone perfectly legal in New Jersey.
I am using a zip-linq headset on my Treo. Works great.
Anyway, don’t feel bad, I am sure a blogger will come a long and fisk you, you the reporter.
