I agree with this. In Iowa, texting while driving is a good example of a secondary offense. You won't get pulled over for it, but if you are speeding or have a brake light out, *BOOM.
While we are on the subject of differing laws between states, it's *really* important to know the applicable laws in areas you chase. In MInnesota, suction cup mounts must be on the lower half of the windshield and not obstruct view. In Illinois, you have to use a "hands free" system with your cellphone. Hold a phone up to your ear, you are in violation.
Many states have laws regarding laptop screens being visible to the driver. My personal *untested* gambit if I am ever pulled over for looking at radar on my laptop would be to show my "dot" against the radar screen and claim it was a GPS unit with a radar overlay. Plan B: My wife is an attorney
