We covered the other day how the Nevada court system is going broke because the numbers of tickets written for traffic and parking infractions has been in a steady decline over the last five years. I guess this is how they're attempting to make up for the shortfall in revenue. 8 News Now reports: LAS VEGAS -- The Nevada Highway Patrol has a campaign to crackdown on distracted drivers, but how far is too far when it comes to cracking the whip? 8 News NOW decided to examine that question after a Las Vegas woman said she received a ticket from a Boulder City police officer for putting on lip balm at a red light.Note, police themselves regularly drive around with highly distracting internal laptops tied to huge monitors, cellphones, and police radios. They regularly hit other people while working on them, yet they're exempt from the distracted driving laws which apply to the rest of us. This is not about safety, this is about revenue generation. |
