Further, the officer has to see another offense to make the stop. Is there any intelligence in Tallahassee?

I have driven through many states and despite laws against cell phone or texting, it still goes on. I am unaware of the fines for these offenses, but such behavior is not being deterred. My experience (based upon 23 years in the Environmental Health and Safety field) is that quite a few (actually too many) people don't seem to believe that it can happen to them, until it does. How many times have any of us read about or witnessed an accident attributed to cell phone/texting/alcohol use? A colleague lost her high school age daughter (she was a passenger in a vehicle in which the driver had too much to drink) two years ago. There was a LOT of news coverage about the tragedy at the time, yet it has happened again and again. <sigh>
