Cameras - Detection holding a phone in car

Responsible organisation: Dutch Public Procesecution Service (Governmental)

The Dutch Public Prosecution Service will intensify enforcement on the detention of mobile devices. With smart cameras that automatically forward violations to the Central Judicial Collection Agency (CJIB). The camera takes pictures of each passer-by, showing whether the driver is holding his mobile phone or not. Because the pictures are taken downwards, the driver's face is not in the picture. The license plate does, and the photo shows clearly and clearly whether someone is holding a mobile device behind the wheel. Only those photos where the system suspects that a phone is being held will be forwarded to the CJIB. A staff member carries out the final assessment at the CJIB. This can result in a fine of 240 euros.
