And you thought red light cameras here was bad, the Manchester Police in the UK are testing a new system that records every drivers as they pass by and if they are “Distracted” they will be sent a $87 ticket along with 3 points taken away from their license. distractions including eating at the wheel, playing with the radio or applying make-up is filmed on camera. 

Mike Downes of the Greater Manchester Casualty Reduction Partnership said the scheme was successfully "driving the number of accidents down" Mr Downes said the cars would only trace people who are committing an offence. "The camera is only trained on the vehicle to secure the evidence," he said. "I would say the actions we are taking are reasonable, proportionate and fair in light of the fact that we are trying to save lives."

How long will it take for this to come to the US.
