The Missouri Department of Transportation backs a bill that would do just that, after an especially deadly 2021 on state highways.

I see drivers swerving all over the road because they are texting. Texting need to be done while the car is not moving. Hands free operation is not bad. My phone blue tooths into my radio.

Many people can't drive without a phone in their hand. Those people should not be allowed to have a phone in their car.

Thanks for the misinformation False Fax Max

So govt saying you can't use a phone while driving because idiots will hurt or kill people is ok. But govt saying you must wear a mask or be vaxxed because idiots will hurt or kill people is just horrible and unconstitutional.?

Max

Simple Adam, this is a legislative action, not an unconstitutional mandate. There is a difference, just in case you and Jackal, can't figure that out.

Max

Hands free devices are available for cars for under $30, and one of my cars has one. They work great. No need to hold a phone.

Nothing is ever going back to what it once was. You will continue to fall. You only have your contentment now.

Missouri should enforce strict laws against animal abuse—because any society that calls itself evolved must protect the voiceless. Cruelty tolerated is cruelty normalized, and no state that values progress can afford that.

Fat Guy Outdoors

Yes the voiceless, to include humans as well. Babies need voices as well.

Chris Macy

Currently, MO is the country's leader in puppy mills. Punish these horrible monsters who traffic in the misery of poor animals!

Way over due!!

Denise Taylor

Dogs are the most loyal animals and love you unconditionally no matter how they are treated and it is just heartbreaking to see them mistreated or abused!

Missouri has been notorious for puppy mills that sell sick puppies and treat dogs horrible.

Cindy Hall

Because we need to be advocates for the animals that get taken advantage of. They can’t fight for them for themselves. Some humans are very cruel

Fat Guy Outdoors

Totally agree, look at how we treat our children in the womb as if they are a burden when actually its us who didn't take accountability for our own actions. Humans are selfish and cruel.

I think the more pertinent question would be should dogs and other domesticated animals kept as pets be considered property or have other more humane rights? This has nothing to do with breeding. The dogs were neglected and suffered immensely.

Eric Smith

We need more room fulls of people in J.C. working out the details of sports betting, thereby sending exponentially more people into compulsive gambling, and eventually bankruptcy. To hell with protecting the innocent animals.

Fat Guy Outdoors

No, they should have tougher laws on people breeders.
