So if I was texting and get pulled over for a taillight out all I have to tell the cop is I was dialing a phone number. And no you can't look at my phone officer because I said so. Dumb and worthless. What a joke law. So if I was texting and get pulled over for a taillight out all I have to tell the cop is I was dialing a phone number.

Why can't you text while your vehicle is stationary such as at a red light or railroad crossing? I often times write one text over the course of one or two red lights which isn't going to hurt anyone. In reality, this law is a joke anyway because the officer must have probable cause to pull you over for another violation in order to cite you for this one. Just don't break any other traffic laws and you can continue to text and drive just like before. This law is a classic example of good intentions, but bad execution.

An essential part of many green developments is in how they manage stormwater. If the agent isn't allowed to discuss those features then it removes the incentive to put them there in the first place. That could apply to things from green roofs to rain gardens. Or maybe the agent can discuss the features, just not in terms of their positive role in stormwater?
