My wife received a ticket for voice texting (in California), despite the July 2012 change in the law to permit texting using "voice-operated, hands-free operation" (see law, below). Citing officer, however, would not listen.
To challenge the ticket, I wanted to demonstrate that in fact no actual text message had been sent (SIRI was acting up that day). From the AT&T bill, it's easy to see no message has been sent. But from the iMessage side, I realize there's no definitive list of iMessages sent or received -- OR IS THERE?
Is there any way to obtain (through Apple or otherwise) a complete list of actual iMessages (or just their date/times)? (Even technical approaches -- I'm an Apple Developer)
