I am not sure how this would stand up if you had video evidence. Our car has a camera in it......it faces forward, but could be adjusted to capture evidence of a driver using a phone whilst driving.

i was told that wheni offered footage when reporting a local bus jumping red lights
yet on idiot drivers facebook page footage recorded by a member of the public was used to arrest someone driving dangerously while towing a trailer so either the law is different around the country or somones making a mistake somewhere
i wonder how the defense of a copper didnt see the crime been committed would go down when caught by a speed camera ?
personally i think those cameras at dill hall lane should be reviewed daily and every single one of them jumping red sent a fine and 6 points or the option to go to court and have dangerous and reckless driving added to the list so they can loose their license completely
sick to death of near misses because people jump red and the council and police's lack of willingness to tackle the issue
BUT
the council will be putting bus lane cameras in the area so we know where their priority is over safety ££££££££
make the penine reach a success no matter what the cost or inconvenience to everyone else
