Driving to work this morning at 70 MPH, I could see the guy behind me had his phone in his hand fiddling around (assume texting). Pulled off the exit (he was still behind me) and still tapping away. Since this 'law' has no real teeth, idiots like this will simply keep doing what they do.

Missouri is way late to the party on this law. I think this law is pretty common across the US.

It's the beginning of the school year so kids will be outside and many adults also like myself will be out walking a lot if you need to message someone pull over I don't even walk and text this is a great law

I won't even answer a phone call while I'm in my car, it's hands free, but I refuse to try and hold a conversation in a town where people turn right from left hand lanes, or make U-turns leagally, yet everywhere else in the USA it is illeagal.

a mobile app has a lot more functionality and can prevent false alarms that are common with panic buttons on a lanyard.

Everyone carriers a cell phone with them everywhere. They find it more important to have than any other object (even a school ID). By utilizing a cell phone for a panic alert system for staff, the entire building is safer.

Cell phones are like wallets - everyone remembers to bring them so they are at hand during an emergency.

I put more faith in people, not an app, for a child's safety. Cell phones should be banned in school. I might compromise if cell phones where locked in a locker (muted) and/or a zero tolerance policy for cell phones in the classroom. In-between classes, lunch, etc is OK.
