how about this....
'good morning mam, please hand over your cell phone... thank you'
officer walks to the front of the car and puts the phone in front of the driver's front tire
'please put your car in drive and roll forward about 5' mam... thank you. now please step out of your car and pick up what is left of your phone as i don't want to site you for littering!'
i like it!!!
it immediately eliminates the problem, it's a fairly steep penalty, and it gets around the whole, 'you're going to try and snoop at the stuff on my phone' arguement
