Columbus passes texting-while-driving ban

A crackdown on texting while driving is a month away from taking effect following the passage of a city-wide ban at Columbus City Council’s Monday meeting.

Council passed legislation that prohibits using mobile devices to compose, send, receive or read text messages while driving. Under the new law, set to take effect May 5, texting while driving will be a primary offense that will result in a minor misdemeanor charge, punishable by a fine of up to $150.Read more: Columbus passes texting-while-driving ban - Business First of Columbus:

I'll be monitoring the application of this law to see how it is applied. Indeed, many cities, including those in Pennsylvania, will look to pass similar legislation.

David Harris on New Evidence of Racial Disparities in Criminal Sentencing

Professor David Harris spoke to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review on a new study that shows that racial and ethnic disparities in federal sentences increased in the years since the federal sentencing guidelines became advisory rather than mandatory. No sentencing system will eliminate disparities entirely; what we should strive for is “a system that does justice” by allowing judges to give different sentences based on valid criteria.
