Town tries to ban hand-held and hands-free cell phone use
http://j.mp/GUhCpV (News Observer)
"The ban defies an opinion from the state attorney general's office
that the town lacks the authority to prohibit talking on cell phones
while driving. Town Attorney Ralph Karpinos wrote the state attorney
general last year asking if the town had the statutory authority to
regulate cell phone use. Assistant Attorney General Jess Mekeel said no."

Illegal action, and utterly impractical, as the article itself
details. ("Are you on the phone or are you talking to yourself
again?")
