for those who may have missed some sarcasm or hidden info:

yes the car is registered, however, the fact that it is registered and has plates and insurance does not prevent a free man from using that car to travel in, talk on a cell phone travel rapidly down the public highway or squeel the tires, etc...

I have won several cases using SMJ/IPJ involving plated cars with insurance, etc. The simple facts are that the city of NY does not have jurisdiction over me to tell me what i can or cant do in a privately owned automobile.

2. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this section, no PERSON shall OPERATE a MOTOR VEHICLE upon a public highway while using a mobile telephone to engage in a call while such vehicle is in motion. (b) An OPERATOR of a MOTOR VEHICLE who holds a mobile telephone to, or in the immediate proximity of his or her ear while such vehicle is in motion is presumed to be engaging in a call within the meaning of this section. The presumption established by this subdivision is rebuttable by evidence tending to show that the OPERATOR was not engaged in a call. (c) The provisions of this section shall not be construed as authorizing the seizure or forfeiture of a mobile telephone, unless otherwise provided by law.

4. A violation of subdivision two of this section shall be a traffic INFRACTION and shall be punishable by a FINE of not more than one hundred dollars.

I am not a person and was not operating a motor vehicle, so it seems pretty cut and dry to me...
