    Lightbulb Sheriff Knight provides court defense for texting while driving

    Law enforcement officials can conduct a traffic stop based on probable cause that you are texting, emailing or instant messaging.

    The exceptions are if you are:

    • Reporting an emergency
    • Using a device for navigation purposes
    • Receiving safety-related information
    • Conducting communication that does not require manual entry of multiple letters or numbers

    Because the deputy is in one car and the driver in the other, the deputy cannot see exactly what the driver is using his phone to do.

    According to the law, the driver does not have to surrender his phone to an officer — which means the deputy cannot establish that a violation of the law occurred.

    Journalism can never be silent: that is its greatest virtue and its greatest fault. It must speak, and speak immediately, while the echoes of wonder, the claims of triumph and the signs of horror are still in the air.
