Give an inch, they'll take a million dollars.

Illinois State police have issued over 7,800 tickets so far this year due to the restrictions placed on mobile phone usage.    at an average of $87 a ticket, that is fast approaching almost a million dollars.   So far, there is no evidence of any long term studies on roadway safety as a result of this enforcement, so just like everything else they do, it's not about your safety, it's about your money.
