研究表明，在美国，警察在驾驶时使用手机的法律可能很难执行，但这是未知的。对警察进行了一次全国性调查，以确定是否存在执行这些法律的障碍，法律的哪些方面使这些法律更容易执行，以及如何阻止司机的这种行为。横截面调查。USA.从2019年11月至2020年4月，来自所有50个州的18岁以上的执法人员通过多种方式方便抽样招募。来自31个州的官员（N=353）参加了会议。进行描述性统计和多水平logistic回归分析，以评估反应。执行短信禁令（即最普遍的法律）最常见的障碍是司机隐瞒他们的手机使用情况（78%）和官员无法确定司机在手机上做什么（65%）。如果一个普遍的手持手机禁令在他们的国家生效，官员77%的可能性（调整后的OR=0.23; 95%CI 0.08至0.70）报告说，短信禁令是难以裁定。大多数警官（86%）同意，制定一项禁止使用任何类型手持手机的一般法律将有助于执法，法律必须是主要罪行（87%），并适用于所有持牌司机（91%）。大多数人认为，驾驶员教育是必要的。虽然发现了许多执法障碍，但仍有机会改进现行立法，以协助执法工作，并防止司机的这种行为。
Research suggests that cellphone use while driving laws may be difficult for police to enforce in the USA, but this is unknown. A national survey of police officers was conducted to determine whether barriers to enforcing these laws exist, what aspects of laws make them easier to enforce and ways to discourage the behaviour among drivers. Cross-sectional survey. USA. Individuals >18 years of age employed as a law enforcement officer from all 50 states were recruited via convenience sampling through multiple modalities from November 2019 to April 2020. Officers (N=353) from 31 states participated. Descriptive statistics and multi-level logistic regression analyses were run to assess the responses. The most common barriers to enforcing texting bans (ie, the most prevalent law) were drivers concealing their phone use (78%) and the officer not being able to determine what the driver was doing on their phone (65%). If a universal hand-held cellphone ban was in effect in their state, officers were 77% less likely (adjusted OR=0.23; 95% CI 0.08 to 0.70) to report that a texting ban was difficult to adjudicate. The majority of officers (86%) agreed that having one general law that prohibits any type of hand-held cellphone use would aid with enforcement, and that laws must be a primary offence (87%), and be applicable to all licensed drivers (91%). Most officers felt that driver education is needed. While numerous barriers to enforcement were identified, opportunities exist to improve current legislation to aid enforcement efforts and to prevent the behaviour among drivers.
