New West cops were out in the rain Tuesday afternoon cracking down on drivers who just can’t leave their phones alone.
The afternoon distracted driving enforcement blitz saw officers from the department’s traffic services unit stop and ticket drivers using cellphones and other electronic devices.
In less than three hours, officers issued 32 distracted driving tickets, one failure to wear a seatbelt ticket and a school zone speeding ticket.
