Ok, technically, on that we agree. They can't necessarily take it, but they can... and have... make the consequences so big that most people won't consider fighting it. It's easy to sit at a computer and say it's not legal, it's quite another to actually lose your DL and be faced with a serious downgrade in life.

Actions have consequences. You have to decide what's more important, your license or your freedom.

Freedom, of course. But then again, I don't touch my phone in the car, period so I would never get pulled over. Looking like you're committing a crime is a choice as well. Don't do that.

Very true but again as long as its applied like I described I have no issues with it. If not then I do have issues with it, like many things.
