About four dozen tickets were issued each day by Redding police during the recent texting ban enforcement campaign held by departments across the region. 

Police Chief Douglas Fuchs says the effort was about more than catching motorists who were distracted or not driving safely.  He says it was also about how to better enforce the law.  In

Danbury more than 680 tickets were issued to drivers texting or using a cell phone while behind the wheel over the course of 8 days.
