Don't Dial & Drive! Arnold Warns Maria Shriver: "There's Going To Be Swift Action"

Busted!
California's First Lady, journalist Maria Shriver, has been photographed once again talking on her cell phone while driving -- a clear violation of California law.
Shriver was snapped Tuesday in the posh Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles, near the family's home. When she noticed the photographer, she promptly put the phone down.
It was too late though -- the pap got the shot!
Is Adrien Brody The Next Arnold Schwarzenegger?
After the images hit the internet, Shriver's (no doubt embarrassed) husband, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, posted this message on his Twitter page: "Thanks for bringing her violations to my attention... There's going to be swift action."
Schwarzenegger's spokesman Aaron McLear says that by "swift action," the governor means he'll ask his wife not to hold the phone while driving.

Governator Weighs In on Prop 8 Ruling
Ironically, it was Schwarzenegger himself who signed a bill into law last year making it illegal to talk on a handheld cell phone while driving in the Golden State.
The state ban on handheld cell phone use while driving went into effect July 1, 2008. It carries a fine of $20 on the first conviction and $50 on the second, not including penalties.
This is third time Shriver has been snapped talking on the phone while driving.

I think she should pay the fine. Anyone else would of had to pay. She should not get special treatment.

Then I think she should pay the 70.00 she ows California for her violations. I see people all the time on their phones still...no one has regard for the law..not even the lawmakers spouse.

We all need our phones...but most of us follow the law. There is no excuse..not kids or sick fathers. There is no excuse for breaking the law...period.

If and when Maria has an accident It wont matter how many children and sick parents she has. If she is killed or kills someone Maria will be of no use to them. The Law is in place for a reason! They can most definitly afford a hands free device!

"Swift action" like what? Restating the law and/or receiving a fine for breaking the law. Puhleeze!! The swiftest action taking place in that house occurs only when Arnie takes a dump!

Arnold needs to take the phone away from her. You would think that her being the First Lady of Califonria that she would know better, but then to she just figures she is above the law like all Kennedy's are.
