The ban will enable police officers to pull over any motorists who they believe are talking or texting on a handheld device, with a $100 fine the consequence for the violation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb10\">\n<\/p><p>Some people were less than impressed by the idea, however.  Mayor Krauss was the single \u2018no\u2019 vote on the issue, with the overwhelming majority voting to making the ban final, while Bozeman resident Ryan Victor argued that \u201cThe law as it currently is being suggested tonight is not the right answer to this\u201d.  He was not alone in his concern; with local citizen Richie Wells saying that it almost feels like a scam to force people to upgrade their electronic equipment.   \u201cThe idea of mandatory upgrades (is) like telling people \u2018You have to get a Bluetooth\u2019 or saying that \u2018You can\u2019t have hands free devices\u2019\u201d.  Despite his cynicism, Wells admits that he hopes the ban succeeds in making people safer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb10\">\n<\/p><p>Resident Tom Keck, whose son was killed after being hit by a driver who was on a cell phone at the time, was in no doubt as to the need for the ban.  \u201cThe city cell phone ordinance that is enforced will make our streets safer for everyone,\u201d he insists.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Drivers in Bozeman in Montana in the United States will no longer be able to use handheld device, including new or old cell
