Cell Phone Law Question w/poll

[AMCRambler]

Was reading this thread here: Linky and thought of this. It's illegal to talk on your cell phone while driving the car, but what if the situation requires you to dial 911 but continue driving while on the phone with the dispatcher. Say to follow a drunk driver so the police can pull him/her over. The obvious answer is that should be fine, but technically you broke the law buy being a good citizen.
