I know NJ. The Sheriff's Office here issues cells to the Deputies and Blackberrys to the Investigators. Cell conversation can't be picked up on scanners like the radio traffic. My point is....... they going to ban LEO from using cells while driving? I'd bet not in Virginia with it's strong Sheriff's Association and powerful Commonwealth Attorney lobby.
