I posted the pictures of the ipad on my dash because it did not block the view of the road but it still had a strong negative reaction from fellow list members hence my thoughts about a similar reaction from a traffic cop. For me it is a moot point as I don't plan to use my iPad for traffic directions. I frequently drive around major cities solo but if one was not driving solo the larger screen of the iPad would be convenient.

I don't see how it could be any more distracted than a garmin gps etc. but with so many people having this reaction I wondered if this would be a traffic cops reaction as well.
In some states, anything on the dash that blocks ANY PART of the drivers view of the road is illegal.
