I didn't see your ask earlier for the offence but you found it. As @nvingo points out, there were and still are laws that would cover it (dangerous driving and due care and attention I think) but the politicos wanted some crumbs to feed the people. Look what we are doing, are we not great?Now bow before us.
But it requires police to witness the crime first and we are under coppered. You can still get done using the phone "legally" under the old laws I think. Research and experience has shown that the call is a big culprit no matter it is on blue tooth or hand held.
I am still wondering what the difference is though in the transmitted signal voice vs data. On the network, land line that is it was, .3 to 3.4 kHz range was used and I assume it is similar today and over mobile? By the time that is has suffered quantisation and stuffed down some digital algorithm and pipe, it will have a different profile to an app slurping data in bursts perhaps or from an app streaming music at a higher digital rate than speech? Guessing here that that is a difference they can see? Or it is just a fudge up and will get the lot and be a waste.
Detection will be a piece of cake with the right aerial, the phone is essentially a two way radio at heart, it is how the damned things work. How small can they make those aerials though, and if that detector is trapped to a pole, are they in the pole. |
