AutoExec Summary
Mobile phone detection cameras are being increasingly used across Australia to catch drivers using their phones while driving. The cameras capture images of the front seats and number plates of vehicles to detect illegal phone use, resulting in fines and demerit points. Each state has its own fines and demerit point penalties for offenders. The cameras come in fixed and portable forms, with varying designs, and are located in different areas depending on the state. Some drivers have raised concerns about privacy and accuracy of the cameras. Mobile phone cameras are not yet in operation in Western Australia and the Northern Territory.
