Doug Ford banned speed cameras. The City of Ottawa posted the raw speed data from before and after the ban. This chart shows the percentage of drivers going 15km/h or more over the posted limit. (feddit.uk)

The seatbelt and phone cameras here in Australia are rather interesting to view the captures from. Working for a government body people would come in to our self service area and want to view the photos (which can be done at home, on your phone or pc); they'd get in a bit of a huff and puff once they saw the images.

The angles these cameras are placed get most angles drivers try to hide their phone usage, and the resolution is decent considering the cameras distance away.

Cameras catching distracted drivers are a great win in my eyes, no one should be fumbling their phone while trying to drive.

Looks like intended use - great idea!

Folks should know phones are banned in cars for a good reason.
