Re: NSW mobile phone detection cameras

One detail people are missing is that you do not have to be “holding” the phone to be considered in breach, simply in contact with it. On your lap, or resting against your leg, are both open to prosecution as if you were holding it.
So you’ve been through the Macca’s driveway, you took out your wallet to pay with “tap and go”, as you’re strapped into the seat and there is a queue behind you, it seems courteous to get on the road and home. Wedge your wallet against your thigh on the seat cushion and drive away.
Camera gets you 100m later; phone resting against your leg. How the dickens will you prove the alleged phone was actually your wallet?
