What if you're singing along to the radio and a cop catches a glimpse of you and thinks you're on the phone, then stops you and decides to seize your work phone that's sitting there on the center console? You can dispute it and provide phone records to show that you weren't using your cell, and a judge would be happy to consider that. Unfortunately, by that point, you've already had to go a day without your phone and your work information has been compromised.

That's how it should be, but now cops get to be "gods" too.
