In any case, I would say that the "Find my iPhone" app could be used if your phone was siezed to wipe the phone.

I know people personally who use their phones while driving still. I know I also am often tempted, and have used it at a red light. I have also been honked at because I didn't notice the light changing right away. Why are we so tempted? Because right now the penalty is on par with that of speeding. If they increased the penalty to potential loss of your phone; that might be enough to stop a few more people.

I would even go so far to say that 24 hours isn't long enough. If you have a work phone that gets taken for 24 hours; you could just tell your boss you forgot it at home that one day. If it was taken for a month- you would have some explaining to do.

As for the costitutional rights issue- I see the right to public safety out weighs the right to personal privacy or due process. I know this is contrary to what I said in the .05 thread; and that is because I believe distracted drivers are a greater risk than mildly impaired drivers. I also see this as the Province acting within their duristiction as opposed to trying to circumvent a federal law.

Bravo.
