Just had a notion, figured I'd toss it out and see what's wrong with
it. And I know that this group will find something to object to if
anybody will.

Many if not most cell phones today come with some kind of position
sensing technology--some triangulate on the towers, some have real
GPS, some may do something else, but the bottom line is that they can
with a pretty good degree of precision calculate their own location.

So why not take that a step further and program them to also calculate
their speed, and if it's over, say, 10 MPH for more than, say, 30
seconds the phone disconnects itself unless it is connected to 911?

What?! You'd restrict the American public's (insert shot of waving flag
superimposed over constitution) right to endanger their neighbor's lives and
property?!

COMMIE!!
