Am I committing a minor crime against society by watching the Tigers on my phone while cruising down the road? Because if that’s the case, we need to have a serious conversation about consistency.
I mean, my car already has screens. Big ones. Fancy ones. Buttons that do everything except make a decent cup of coffee. So somewhere along the line, we all agreed that screens in cars are fine… as long as they’re blessed by the manufacturer. But the second I pull up a game on my phone, suddenly I’m public enemy number one.
And don’t even get me started on the double standard. Every time I see a cop roll by, they’ve got what looks like a full-on mobile command center glowing in front of them. Laptops, radios, screens stacked like a Best Buy display. But me? I just want to check if the Tigers are blowing a late-inning lead again.
So where exactly is the line here? Is it about safety, or is it about who gets to have the better screen setup?
Because if we’re being honest, I’m just trying to keep up with a ballgame… not run a surveillance operation.
