This is a great potential law... when they confiscate the cell phones they can resell them with a 2 year or a 3 year contract and charge for EMS and 911 service, texting. They can update the software to report any suspicious activity, directly to them before it happens as a feature to those who might be texting about breaking the law. Etc. etc.

I can see all these Policia Telephone stores opening to compete with Telus and Rogers and provide some real competition since they won't have to pay for the hardware they are re-selling.

Lol.. can't wait! Forget about driving and using your cell phone at the same time, I would like to thank the oblivious blonde at the Fratello coffee stand at the farmers market today who was blocking everybody from the coffee condiments while she texted on her Samsung Galaxy IIIs phone.

The funny thing is when they invented the telephone they came up with something called telephone etiquette. There were rules that came along with the technology that everyone had to use as to prevent the device from overtaking or invasively ruining simple things as courtesy. How come such a powerful device as a smartphone comes with no rules or etiquette?
