As you might recall from earlier threads, Steve Bozak, WB2IQU, received a ticket from a Troy, NY, police officer with little current traffic enforcement experience for violating New York's ban on mobile cellphone use without a hands-free device.
The ticket has been dismissed finally.
The judge got it right - and wrong.
Right in that a ham using an amateur transceiver never should have been charged in the first place.
Wrong in that the judge used the federal definition of Citizens Band to justify his decision.
