(AP Photo)ALBANY, NY -- New York state lawmakers are considering a Breathalyser of sorts to combat distracted driving from texting. Legislation would allow police to use a so-called "textalyser'' to determine if a driver had been clicking, tapping or swiping a mobile device in the moments before an injury-involved accident. The idea already faces obstacles from constitutional and privacy advocates who are quick to note that police need the owner's consent and a warrant to get cellphone records. They're also concerned such technology would be used to access all of the personal information people may have on their mobile phones.
