> i used to live 5 minutes from chapel hill… honestly, its a bunch of yahoos and idiots there for the most part along with a TON of college students (UNC chapel hill, Duke university, NC State right down the road, etc…)… i see this as nothing more than another stream of revenue for the city if the law sticks… in all reality though, it contradicts NC state law and will most likely be overturned very soon

Not sure about the state law, but unless the law specifically states it IS legal to talk w/ hands-free devices and what not, then Chapel Hill’s law is perfectly fine. Laws from lower branches of government cannot contradict higher forms, but they CAN “compliment” them and add to them.
