(talking while driving) They may have been pulled over for TWD and arrested for something in addition to it but not solely talking behind the wheel.  Your statement of "claiming that arrests of citizens caught driving and talking were in fact illegal" is no where near correct.  Claiming that tickets of citizens caught is correct.  The actual law did not mandate signs be posted within Chicago's city limits and that is what brought the case up in the first place. <br><br>Yes the devil truly is in the details.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[shackk]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 22nd 2007 12:23AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on City of Chicago sued for illegally ticketing in-car yappers]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/12/21/city-of-chicago-sued-for-illegally-ticketing-in-car-yappers/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/12/21/city-of-chicago-sued-for-illegally-ticketing-in-car-yappers/</guid><description><![CDATA[Did this guy run out of ambulances to chase after?<br><br>Hey, just to think of it, I don't think I ever saw a sign specifically stating I'm not allowed to drive with a blindfold on.

This is a City of Chicago law.  But you're right, nobody actually calls it "Chi-town".]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Matt]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 22nd 2007 4:03PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on City of Chicago sued for illegally ticketing in-car yappers]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/12/21/city-of-chicago-sued-for-illegally-ticketing-in-car-yappers/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/12/21/city-of-chicago-sued-for-illegally-ticketing-in-car-yappers/</guid><description><![CDATA[First, NO ONE calls it Chicagoland except losers from the suburbs who want to think of themselves as living in the city.<br><br>Second, something seems wrong with this thread because there are only 5 comments now but there's another link for the same article but with many more comments (<a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/21/city-of-chicago-sued-for-illegally-ticketing-in-car-yappers/#comments" rel="nofollow">http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/21/city-of-chicago-sued-for-illegally-ticketing-in-car-yappers/#comments</a>).  In any case, in that thread someone posted the actual law - it was a Chicago ordinance to ban talking on a phone in your car, but that ordinance is ONLY valid per State law *IF* the City posts signs.  The city didn't post signs yet.  So the ordinance is not yet valid.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Peter]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 3rd 2008 2:18PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
