CARSON CITY, Nevada: Most states ban texting behind the wheel, but a legislative proposal could make Nevada one of the first US states to allow police to use a contentious technology to find out if a person was using a cellphone during a car crash.
The measure is igniting privacy concerns and has led lawmakers to question the practicality of the technology, even while acknowledging the threat of distracted driving.
