The argument of "if you don't like the punishment, then don't break the law" is so ridiculous it makes my head want to explode. Based on this logic you can impose completely disproportionate punishments and just tell people to suck it up. (This doesn't apply to people who, like Ken, have said they feel that it is an invasion, but it's worth it for the public safety).

Most people have a password on their phone. Do you really think "big brother" is going to conduct surveillance on you til you're spotted driving while yakking on your cell phone, send traffic cops out to stop you, seize your phone and then send it off to a lab to get analyzed and then return the phone to you in 24 hours? Oh don't forget they'll be doing the same thing to everyone else driving with a cell phone too. Come on...
