No, this is not true. Exemptions are the use of two way radios (Ham, CB, GMRS, Business & of course emergency services) and Nextel Walkie Talkies.

In other words if you are seen by a cop holding with one hand and talking into a CB mic you can be cited. Is this really true? If it is then using a CB radio while traveling with a Vanagon in California becomes risky of getting a ticket. If they see your Vanagon Can anyone validate this? It would be in sane if it is true. This would be an example of an inappropriate application of a law that is for a good course otherwise. Can anybody validate this?
