That's what the judge basically said and still counted it as a cell
phone.

So ask the judge why the Cop doesn't get nicked for a fine while using his
"cell phone" to run your plates while he's driving?

I've heard of some chick beating a littering ticket; chucked a cigarette
butt out the window while driving. She picked up the carbon paper the Cop
threw on the ground from his ticket pad and brought it to court. When she
showed it to the judge he dismissed the ticket.
