Soon you won't be able to do anything without a law for it. We'll be under constant sureveillance and if you don't agree with it, you'll be jailed. ie. Hate Speech law.

Having said that ... I pay attention to the way police officers drive because it is a pet peeve of mine (I've written dozens of letters over the years to police chiefs about this) ... and I've notice lately that a lot of officers don't use their turn signals ... and the reason is that their one hand is full of cell phone ... I hope that this bill doesn't exempt them for some reason.
