Cell phones and such

With cell phones being used constantly these days here is a list as of Jan 1, 2010 laws.

In the enforcement category, "Primary" means that you may be pulled over and ticketed solely for a cellular device violation, while "Secondary" means that you may only be penalized for your offense if you were pulled over for an additional primary offense such as speeding or running a red light.
