Default 'Ending' "the war on the motorist"

The worms only appear if (for example) you have a phone switched into
"flight mode" (so no calls are possible) being used for something else
(perhaps as a camera) while you are "at the wheel". Note that the law
also does not discriminate between the situations of bowling along a
motorway at 70mph versus being sat at (ObRail) a level crossing with the
gates closed, the gearbox in "park", while you snap a passing train.


But a police officer does discriminate between the two.


Only when it suits them. It's a very dangerous situation when there are
laws that TPTB says "but we will never use them like that". Which is
pretty much where we are today with many officers' interpretation of the
terrorist/photography laws.
