Shhhhh!!!
The first rule of Fight Club is: you do not talk about Fight Club. The second rule of Fight Club is: you do not talk about Fight Club.
Ya thats damn creepy. BUT for the portable cellphone tower, I want one now
I could put it in my car and force all the people driving around me talking on their cell to a pre-recorded message of obnoxiously loud car collision sounds with a periodic "YOUR LIFE IS WORTH MORE THAN THIS CALL" thrown in. If it could give me a 1 block radius bubble of idiot-free driving, itd be worth every penny. Alls i'd need after that is total control of the street lights so I could pre-set my routes to always be green and I might actually start to enjoy urban driving!!Not to mention the infinite array of nefarious uses too
Watch 'Hackers 2'.
It's just a radio transceiver with a laptop connected, with the right software. The software is the key though.
Sure, as long as you're a straight, white male and want to live like every other straight, white male.
Is that woman who got arrested for selling a dildo in Texas still in jail, or did she serve her time already?
Good Job!!! you managed to play the race and sexual orientation card in a thread that is 65 posts long and never made any reference of any kind to that. You should check out the OUTSIDE they rant about all that stuff over there. You should find somebody there that wants to play that game.
It is amazing how records can disappear when questioned..short story long.. my daughter was puking her alcohol guts up in a fresman dorm. The police were called and she was charged with possession of a minor. I called the court (just to find out if I needed to get her an attorney). While talking, I asked how she could be charged with possession of a minor since she was not actually in possession. A month later, we go to court with all of the other previously drunk college students. Her name was never called....no record existed in the entire courthouse of anything having to do with her. Poof!!!
Sure.... and with a simple machine language command, we can reverse the optics of your computer monitor.
Wait... you're not smiling.
Ahhh... that's better. You look so much better when you smile.
None of which answers the question: is that woman who got arrested for selling a dildo in Texas still in jail, or did she serve her time already?
I was on a VOIP lecture from college once and forgot to plug in the microphone from my headphones. I was talking and being heard, but someone told me I was a little muffled. I looked down and the mic plug was dangling. The VOIP conference software picked up the headphone input and used it as the mic.
So, the answer is yes, you can be heard even if the mic isn't plugged in.
Back on the cell phone while driving topic, I agree that going to court with the records is the way to fight it.
In Ga, the state legislature just passed a ban on texting while driving. It's still legal to talk with a cell phone in your hand while driving. One of my pet peeves is the HUGE number of people who have a cell phone over their left ear when they pull out in front of me! The cell phone blocks a portion of your peripheral vision. I'd welcome a hands-free law in my state. Tests have proved that awareness and understanding of what is going on around you is impaired by something on the order of 50%, even with hands free operation. It's just distracting to have someone talking to you while you are making decisions about when it is safe to pull out into traffic. Not to mention that people are making turns with one hand on the wheel and the other blocking their vision.

I don't see cellphones any more dangerous than having on board GPS and fiddling around with it. So if your gonna ban cellphone use in cars, require ppl to have GPS turned off as well. I know the goal is to have zero car crash fatalities in the entire US but when people wake up from that dream you realize that will never happen. Buy a bigger car or truck and deal with feeding it gas if you wanna feel safer on the roads, because the larger vehicle wins most of the time, or just stay off them and take the bus.
Myself personally, as long as your not doing drugs,driving drunk,keeping your eyes on the road and obey highway laws, then who am I to tell someone else what to do. Accidents happen plain and simple.
All the traffic laws are created to save the insurance companies money which they don't pass back onto you and as a stealth tax to fund whatever the cities and states feel like doing with it.

If I do this, what does...
have to do with anything, especially in light of...
Weak logic Kung Fu here...
Whoa, oops, never mind...
Yes atavanhalen... I go to court on July 29th with phone records (and boxmod) in hand.
Would be a kicker if the court's security guards won't let me in with the boxmod
Will post the outcome.

The cop probably won't even show. But, you have to be prepared anyway.
I had something similar happen. I don't want to get into the details, but I was basically charged with something I didn't do. Let me just say it was a lot worse than a cell phone ticket. I went to court fully prepared to fight, but summarily had the case dismissed when the cop didn't show. My feeling was the cop knew he was wrong, but wasn't going to concede at the time. His attitude was, "I pulled you over for something I thought you did, you're going to jail". So, he just didn't show up for court. Needless to say, I was relieved about that one.

Good luck. Please keep us posted.

"In fact sadly I support the hands free cells laws everywhere because I've watched people be oblivious to what's going on around them because they are too engrossed in their phone."
If I thought that passing laws would make people less oblivious I might be for more of them.... unfortunately I don't think it is working.

My REO with a stainless steel drip tip is not safe to vape in my car because we have so many pot holes in Minnesota - I hurt my lip and nearly knocked out a tooth. As far as traffic goes, it seems safer than smoking was.
