Can an off duty cop give me a ticket for being on the phone?

Hell no they cant. like the other guy said they can call an On duty cop but you could fight that ticket. cops sometimes try to abuse their authority, dont let them. i had an off duty cop cut me off once and when we got next to each other i said you need to watch where you are going and when he said he was a cop i saw that he was in his personal vehichle ( i knew it was personal because it had a regestration sticker on it and all cop cars in texas are tax exempt so they dont have one) i gave him the finger told him to **** off and learn to drive and drove off. i respect cops but i know the can and cant do for them so when they do **** like that it pisses me off
