It's illegal to text while driving in most states, and now there's a legislative proposal that could make Nevada one of the first states to allow police to use technology to find out if a person was using a cell phone at the time of a car crash. If the measure passes, it would allow police to use a device known as the "textalyzer," which connects to a cellphone and looks for user activity. The company that makes it, Cellebrite, says the technology doesn't access or store personal data. Opponents of using the device say it violates the Fourth Amendment, which protects against unreasonable search and seizure, and that it raises privacy concerns. A similar measure was introduced to the New York Legislature in 2017 and failed, though lawmakers are considering it again.
