That's the real crux of the issue. Enforcement will be paltry at best and it further burdens law enforcement. So now, in addition to ensuring you are obeying traffic laws, and not driving under the influence, and wearing your seatbelt, they have to see if you are playing with your phone. Meanwhile, the asshat next to them is "driving" while eating a burger and fries while smoking a cig (and then flicking the butt out the window for good measure ). All completely legal (except for the littering thing) and no less dangerous. More laws = less freedom.
