I agree with the above, except the mobile phone bit. Pointless to blame an everyday object that is used for just about every function in daily life, emergency contacts, payment systems, identification/s, internet access, medical requirements, etc. In this day and age, removing someone's phone could easily lead to a life threatening situation or even save someone from one. Besides, how would most people pay fines without a mobile computer with a phone function?
