What I'm saying is that I believe the cop was within his rights to issue a citation.

Not if he didn't even try to discern whether it was being used for navigation. You ask whether the citation was unwarranted, but I think that betrays an authoritarian attitude. Was the citation warranted? The judge says no.

It was dismissed because there was no proof that they were turned on at the time. How in the hell a cop could ever prove that is beyond me.

Right... until some guy watching a video on his glasses while driving plows into you and your family.

And then it becomes an issue. Am I missing part of the logic here?

I believe you are missing a fair amount of logic...
