I get that and I agree in general, the question should be is texting a minor traffic violation, or is it more than that?
If police could take away a drunk driver's alcohol (i.e. remove it from their bloodstream rendering them sober, removing the source of their impairment) and return it to them 24 hours later, that'd be great, because the harm of drunk driving is real. EDIT: Plus you get to drink it twice!

Some wrongs are more abstract and harder to quantify, but I agree.
