    That's called moving the goal posts.


    You said they couldn't prove she wasn't using the phone without seizing it nor that they could prove it was with her, that's incorrect. Whether the police choose to do so for a basic RTA is irrelevant as that wasn't the point I was answering.


    You could simply admit you were wrong and move on and you'd look a whole lot better than trying to keep changing the argument to make it appear you're right.

    No, I didn't.

    Ah my wording was slightly off on the first point, I apologise


    You said


    It’s not that simple if the police didn’t seize her phone at the time.


    That bit of course is wrong, it IS that simple, the police don't need to seize her phone to prove it was used



    The second part is still wrong,

    Who’s to say she had possession of the phone at the time of the accident?


    They can prove easily it was with her.


    As I said though, talking about whether the police will do it or not is irrelevant, your post implies it is difficult to prove that the phone was in use and with her, which is incorrect

    Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness: 

    People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

    Why? Because you've seen it on tv.

    The can plot the phone to an area but not necessarily the scene of the accident.

    A lot easier and cheaper if the seized the phone, so why's to comment wrong? Because you disagree?
