If you were able to make this change to the law, how might it affect the court system?

Hello Professor Kehm & Classmates
My Name is Deborah Jones i’m excited about learning the court system an how laws are passed looking forward to the weeks ahead.
The first law that was passed that affects me is the hand free cell phone law.
Why were these laws passed? It was passed to protect drivers and also pedestrians I agree with the idea of keeping people safe while driving but the driver are still distracted because it’s just human nature to pick up the phone when it rings or a text come through. Before I got my new car I had to wear a ear piece or have the phone on speaker not comfortable at all.
How are they enforced? Police will conduct a traffic stop the driver is fined with a healthy ticket.
Do you believe it they are a good Idea? Yes I do see the change in drivers it helps with accidents an the flow of traffic there are not to many driver delaying traffic while reading a text.
The second law that has passed in 9 states so far is the ban on abortion law.I really have a problem with this law it’s not fair that the government think they should be able to control a women body. I don’t agree with abortion it’s a human being that should be able to live. To many people unable to have kids place the kid up for adoption before you kill it. There is only one reason I would have an abortion if I got pregnant from a rape I could not see myself carrying a child that was made from a rapist. My option it would effect me mentally. Just being honest.
Why was these laws passed? Good question the only reason is for the government to have control.Which is wrong in all ways.
How are they enforced? In the states that has passed the ban the legislation require the provider to use an abdominal ultrasound to detect a fetal heartbeat if a heartbeat is detected the patient is denied the abortion.
Do you believe they are a good idea? No like I explained in my introduction everyone should have a right to make a choice about there body.
The final law that has passed is the cannabis laws or Marijuana laws I have mixed feelings about this law I do agree that it should be legal to help people that ill with chronic pain, seizure, an other diseases yes legalize it for that purpose only but we all know people with that are regular weed heads will find a way to fraud the system.
Why were these laws passed? This law was passed to help with certain health issues.
How are they enforced? The patient is given a prescription an a special card to show proof that it is for medical use only.
Do you believe they are a good Idea? Yes for medical purpose only.

My three laws are: Littering, Trespassing, and Drunk in public
Littering:
-Laws were passed to keep people from littering for obvious reasons like excessive trash in roadways, clogged storm water drainage, damage to vehicles and even injury to other motorists or pedestrians on the highways.
-Littering laws are enforced by police officers who see it first hand or are informed of such activities.
-I think littering laws are very necessary, our country would be so horrible if people were allowed to just throw anything from their cars any time they like. Many do it anyways but it would be so much worse.
Trespassing:
-Trespassing laws are meant to keep people from coming into areas where they do not belong, are not allowed, and are not wanted.
-Enforcement of trespassing laws falls to the police officers, they see it first hand or are called because someone is where they shouldn’t be. Many times people are lost or don’t know that they are on someones land and not public property.
-I believe that the trespassing laws are quite necessary! We need to be thankful that we have our own private areas that no one can or should enter. These laws keep strangers from simply walking into someones home and taking it over.
Drunk in public:
-For obvious reasons drunk in public law
