So apparently it can detect mobile phone use, and whether it's being used via Bluetooth.
And yet they didn't fit a camera to take and record photos to be used as evidence. Just lights a crossed-out-smartphone sign.
Anyone would think they had no confidence in the technology...

Should have gone to specsavers?
QUOTE
A hi-tech camera which can detect people using their mobile phones while driving was trialled in Melbourne


QUOTE
“Line-of-site, by trained officers is the primary method of detection, however, long-ranged cameras have been used with success, and helmet cameras in motorcycle police continue to be used,” the spokesman said.

But that technology could soon be replaced by stationary cameras that automatically issue an infringement notice without the driver even realising they’ve been sprung
(my bold)

QUOTE
A red-light style camera capable of photographing drivers illegally using their mobile phones was trialled in Melbourne, Victoria last year. The technology — touted as a world first — detected 272 culprits during a five-hour test across just one lane of the Eastern Freeway

There is no such thing as a law abiding motorist, just those who have been scammed and those yet to be scammed!
