CA VC22350 was the Citation.
Scenario: I was stopped in Traffic, While Stopped, I picked up my phone to check the time. At this moment, a motorcycle officer passed me while splitting lanes. He saw me, stopped, Then engaged a traffic Stop. Asked for standard info, Registration and license. The officer asked me why I had my phone in my hand and I told him I was "checking the time". My concern was getting to work on time. He then issued me a citation for 22350.
Short Version.
1. I was stopped.
2. He saw me briefly with my phone through my passenger window.
3. He cited me for 22350
There was no texting or phone calls logged on my phone or bill +/- an hour from the time of the citation. There was no use of my phone at the time of the citation. Just checking the time.
Can I fight this and get it thrown out?
