For any that missed the news on this, there is a new device out there that will potentially allow police officers to determine if drivers were texting while driving. Developed by Cellebrite, the tablet-sized device can track the last usage periods of the driver right before an accident. Texting and driving is currently illegal in 47 states and the device aims to crackdown on activity. As of now, the only way for law enforcement to retrieve cellphone data is through a search warrant.
Check out the video.
Cellebrite says police won't have the device until states pass legislation allowing it. A measure currently before New York lawmakers would allow authorities to suspend your license if you refuse to hand over your phone. Similar legislation is underway in New Jersey, Tennessee and Chicago.
