What is the name of your state? NY
Okay, so I was coming home from the gym late one night talking to my friend on the speakerphone. I picked up the phone and started driving with it against the steering wheel. Both hands were on the wheel. I was then pulled over and explained to the cop that I had the speakerphone on. He hesitated, as if to say "oh" and I thought he'd let me off. Then he said, "Well speakerphones count - all is included." I said, "sorry." He gave me a ticket anyway. I'm pleading not guilty. Does anyone have any advice for when I go to the deposition? My friend was still on speaker phone when the cop had me pulled over and heard most of what was going on - can I use him as a witness? Would that help at all? Having sold cell phones, I know that a speakerphone feature is technically for hands free. Any advice? I really wasn't aware that the law applied if you weren't actively holding the phone up to your ear. I mean, then people should get pulled over for drinking a soda or playing with the radio while they drive!
Any legitimate, no bull****, advice would be greatly appreciated.
