I spoke with a cop last night at Dennys just after midnight, and he said that if he saw someone hitting the pad of a GPS it's a judgement call. "if you're texting, doing your make up and all sorts of stuff, yes, I will pull you over. But I don't think it's a big deal if your just hitting a button on a mounted GPS".

Take it for what it's worth. I've found that most cops are just decent regular people and if you treat them as such you get back what you put in. He's right too in my opinion... I don't see how hitting a button on a GPS that's mounted is any different than changing the volume on the radio or turning on the AC.

For what it's worth.
