[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If they ticketed anyone who was walking and looking at their phone all of the world's problems would be solved - any concentrated viewing of the phone should require stepping to the side. The worst is those who do it while crossing the street, followed closely by those who do it while very, very slowly walking up the steps out of the subway.

I know people who have been ticketed for walking between subway cars or hopping turnstiles so this is a similar idea.

This would make traffic flow much better.[/quote]

Well, maybe not just walking but walking in the street, right? And a 25 ticket or something not crazy but also not just a warning. But hiring cops to do this? Does it make sense financially? [/quote]

There are countless people doing this. The fines would cover their salaries easily!

A friend once got a $75 ticket for walking between subway cars on the Times Square/Grand Central shuttle while it was sitting in the station with the doors open - he said he knew you can't go between cars on a moving train, but not with the doors open - who knew? Countless people do this - if they parked a cop there they could make a fortune. Same idea for the cell phone abusers.

Obviously this will never happen but it would make the city a better place to live.[/quote]
