There has been a huge crack down on texting and driving in New York State.  Soon, a new technology may even be able to detect distracted drivers that would otherwise go unnoticed.  ComSonics, a company based in Virginia, is developing a new radar gun that could target your vehicle and detect a texting signal.  

Cell phones emit radio frequencies when they are being used for data, voice calling and texting.  These radio frequencies can be picked up and detected, even if the phone is out of view of any passerby.  

However, proving that the text was sent by the driver could be difficult for vehicles with multiple occupants.  

The device is in production, but will still need to be tested before it can be adopted and approved by any law enforcement agencies in the United States.  Read more about the new gadget here.
