New Phone Policy

The old and now newly enforced policy of no phones I find very unnecessary.  I usually do not use my phone a lot, however, the policy is obnoxious.  First off, I do not understand the no phones in the hallway rule.  I see no problem with students using their cell phones in between classes.  There is no threat of injury we are not hurting anybody and we are not in a classroom environment.  Secondly, the bathroom policy is absolutely irrelevant and unnecessary.  Why is that a problem?  The bathroom is a private place.  It is illegal to put cameras in the bathroom for that very reason, so I find it unlikely that the students that do use phones in the bathroom will stop because of the new policy.  I do understand the no phones in the classroom unless used for school purposes, however, the other two components of the policy I do not understand.  We are on a college campus and we are always told to behave like college students, but we deserve to be treated as such as well.  I doubt that the newly enforced policy will completely stop cell phone usage.  I know that my opinion on this subject may not change anything but I needed to express it.
