You can only be fined for talking on a phone, if they confiscate the phone then it is theft !

You can also only be arrested if they have a warrant for your arrest ! If any police officer says he is going to arrest you without real reason like drunk driving or something else that is a threat to other's lives he must have a warrant to do so.

Some okes got pulled over allegedly driving too fast, and they were threatened to be arrested. No can do, they can fine them but for an arrest they have to have a warrant !
