 Republicans in the Ohio House have voted to increase the penalty for texting while driving. They passed a bill that would make the violation a primary offense, so law enforcement could pull you over if they see you texting and driving.  Currently they must pull the driver over for another reason to charge them for texting.  Right now, they also allow drivers to hold their phones during a call and to physically push the buttons to make the call.  If the proposed law is passed, it would prohibit drivers from using, holding, or physically supporting an electronic device, unless they are stopped at a red light, using the speakerphone function without holding the phone, or holding a phone to the drivers ears for a call, but not using the texting or typing functions.  The bill now moves to the Ohio Senate for consideration.  Democrats say the bill doesn't go far enough and adds it isn't truly a “hands-free bill.”

The Cleveland Division of the FBI is cautioning northern Ohio residents about a telephone spoofing campaign where the caller is portraying themselves as law enforcement and the phone number is showing as Cleveland FBI. The resident, who the caller addresses by name, is told they are the subject of an investigation, will need to be questioned in relation to an investigation, or is facing a possible arrest. The caller then indicates they are placing the resident on hold to speak with an officer. The call then drops. Residents who missed calls have noted a callback number that leads to the FBI.
