If you're caught being distracted by brushing your hair, do they take your combs and make sure you can't brush your hair for 24 hours?

It makes no sense. The police just actually have to.. you know.. enforce the current law? Calgary is brutal for it. The first week, the cops were gangbusters. now? Nothing.
What doesn't make sense?

People are killed and injured in automobile accidents every day. Studies have shown that people talking on their phones or texting significantly increases the chances of an accident. Therefore, our government chose to prohibit driving while talking or texting. So far it makes complete sense, no?

So, if people chose not to follow a very logical, appropriate law, why is it wrong to remove from their possession the item they were using in violation of the law, and which is increasing the chances of someone being killed or injured?

If studies find that hair brushing significantly increases the chances of automobile accidents, and the gov't passes a law saying you can't brush your hair while driving, yet people continue to do it, then, yes ,an appropriate response if their caught is to take away their brush.
