like in Michigan it is illegal to have your cell phone in your hand when you drive. they can't waste their time checking for it but if they find out after you cause an accident you were using your phone, you'll get a separate additional penalty for that.

although, unless you actually live in the county, i don't know how they can penalize you if they find out "after the fact"?
