Talk on a cellphone, pay a grand

cellphone fine

Now we can definitely see the reasoning behind fining irritating cellphone gabbers in libraries, but texting too!? now that seems a bit aggressive since texting doesn't really bother anyone's neighbors. Starting September 15th California's Huntington Beach will start fining offenders $1,000 for talking or texting via cellphone in any of the city's libraries. Repeat offenders will receive anywhere from $250 to $1,000 for every infraction there after. While we are glad that someone's willing to put the smack down on, we had no idea the Huntington Beach librarians had it in 'em.
