I did actually witness a police campaign of stopping motorists on phones and fining them.
On High St Ken, one plain clothes policeman with a radio, spotting drivers on their phone and then telling his uniformed colleague at the lights down the road. issuing on the spot fines. I was so impessed that I went over to the uniformed coppers and said thanks to them.
So yes, it does happen. sometimes.
If they started doing ASL offenders, including motorbikes / scooters, they could prop up the banking deficit in fines! (this is probably not true)
As for the rlj stuff - meh.
