Official laws, maybe not. But I guarranty you, if you start rooting around the floor of your car for CD's and your car starts wavering around in your lane just as you pass a cop, that cop has every cause to pull you over and has the power to write you a ticket for it. It goes hand-in-hand with the "reckless endangerment" aspect of the law, which covers such things as, oh..... say you have a lot of poisonous cleaners and chemicals under your sink. No law against that is there? But if your kid gets into them and dies, can you get in some legal "deep shit" for it? Hell yes you can.
