I understand people’s concerns about our tax dollars. I like this project because it’s something I support. I’d have voted yes if it had come to that. Our state motto is “Hope” and like many of my fellow Rhode Islanders, I’m excited to have a soccer team we can call our own! I have all the hope and faith in the world for this

How common do you think that really is?

If a cop sees you reaching for or using your phone after getting pulled over, they could do the same thing. This is one of those infractions that is 1000% based on the word of the cop. And, as I already pointed out, encouraging people to reach for something that might be out of the way is probably going to raise suspicion.

I bet you on average the advice to turn off the phones would save more people than it harms.

Imagine how many people pulled over with a game playing on their phone or a movie , cop will see that and ticket for distracted driving.

I’m in favor of striking the cellphone section though because I’m smart enough so this wouldn’t affect me.
