Cell Phone Laws, Part II

I recently came up with the following thought experiment: In a place where driving while using a hand-held phone is illegal, get a toy cell phone. Then drive around with it held up to your ear. When you get pulled over, show the officer at your window that you weren't using a cell phone, but just playing at it. What will happen?

When I ran this idea by TT Tom, he speculated, "You'll be shot for annoying the cop that much." But seriously, what is the legal status of such behaviour? I imagine that you can do the exact same actions as if you were on the phone, but not be subject to any penalty.

    Cops seem to find it reasonable to conduct a search for drugs anytime they pull over a motorist.

    Even if you're not carrying, would you trust a cop to not plant evidence?

    You'd probably be done for the offence of obstructing the police in the execution of their duty.
