Is it really illegal to use your phone while stopped at a stoplight?

Here in BC you can't use a hand-held cellular device in stopped traffic:

"The law applies even when you’re stopped at a light or in bumper-to-bumper traffic"

Since when did something not really being illegal prevent a cop from booking or at least harassing people doing something he didn't like? ;) Not that I totally disagree with him in this case, though. ;(
