Lets face it...if talking on your phone is really as bad as they say then they really should go zero tolerance here, right?

That's not the point at all.
Technically talking on your phone is 100% illegal.
If you drive by a cop and nothing is out of the ordinary, but you've got your phone to your ear chances are you'll get a stern look, hang up and you'll both go on your way.

It's no different than speeding. There'll be some wiggle room, and just as cops don't give everyone a ticket who is going 10 over, they won't be giving a ticket to everyone who takes a quick glance at their phone.
