Solved An annoyance about smart phones

There definitely were no bad drivers before smartphones. :eyeroll:

It's only one state without a texting and driving law, by the way. I don't know why people can't look stuff up before repeating incorrect things. Use your smartphone.

When I looked it up on my smart phone it said Montana and Missouri were the two states but maybe my phone isn't as smart as it thinks it is. 😉

Missouri's law is almost three years old. Update your phone. :p

It's against the law in RI too but whether or not you get pulled over is a complete crapshoot and the odds are in your favor of not getting pulled over. But we sure feel good about having that (toothless) law on the books.

Here you are toasted if they see you... our painted police cars have 360 degree cameras.. so if the police sees it, so does the camera.. and you cant argue in court the camera was wrong. :eyeroll:

I do have a camera in my dumbphone that take good enough pictures if i ever need to take a picture away from home.
All my business i do is over the computer as i write a lot of text and real keyboard and a big screen is a must. also when looking at pictures a big screen is 100 times better then my smartphone i used for 2½ months.
If i want to take real art pictures, i use a system camera as you get a better feel and a lot more functions then a mobile camera can do.

My phone is used for calls only.. once or twice a month i might send an SMS or two.
So if i need to call 112(911) my dumbphone works perfectly, i have both bluetooth headset and speakerphone on that one. :-)

Hi Marie -

I'm glad your system is working for you.

I forgot to mention I am a semi-retired pro photographer and videographer, and that the camera on my iPhone 15 Pro takes great images between 12 and 48 mpxls (+ HD & 4K video) that can rival (quality-wise) what a DSLR or mirrorless camera can create, and have sold those images and videos on stock websites (and believe me, the curators on those sites are picky). My iPhone is also the camera I always have with me when I am out of my studio, and "they" say the best camera is the one you have with you when you want to take a picture! Of course, I do run all of the images and videos from my phone through my computer in Photoshop, or Pro video software before submission. Smartphone or dumbphone, we all use what works for us. I just don't see the rancor toward responsible adults using smartphones from some people.

Yeah i have heard that iphone makes good mobile cameras.. they using the sony chip if i remember right.
But as you as pro photographer knows.. the feeling you get when you hold the system camera in your left hand, adjusting the objective with the fingers to get the right focus or some cases wrong focus when you want some fun effects.. and you press the button with your right hand. That feeling is just gone with a flat phone you have to hold with your fingertips and then tap the screen or press a tiny flat button on the side.
What is the saying... you can't beat the feeling. 😁

I think the problem will only be solved (and probably just temporarily until the hackers figure out how to defeat it) through technology which only makes your phone available during an emergency while you're driving.

Currently, Federal law prevents the blockage of cellular signals. That even extends to prisons and they wonder why smuggled cellphones are a problem. Well DOH! :zany:

Of course, some people are too stupid to ask themselves how they dealt with the issue before cellular was even invented. Their brains can't go back that far. And frankly, it wasn't even that long ago.

Many times, the guys who pass these laws don't have a fu*#ing clue, let alone common sense, about how these laws should be applied.

Who said anything about blocking cellular signals? The phones all know how fast they're moving. One could, for example, make only the phone app available once the speed reaches 25 mph (or 600 metric speed units, I dunno what that is).
