In April this year drivers will be fined for using mobile phones if caught on the M4 mobile phone use detection system. Fair enough, we have some drongos, like the tool who was caught using both his hands to use his phone while his mate in the passenger seat held the wheel, but, seriously, is a camera system dedicated to detecting mobile use really needed? What's next, fun police?

    Though I am going to assume in this case the title was meant as sarcasm.

    Either way it prejudices the comments.

    I really dislike editorial summaries.

    Personally, I think summaries should remain neutral with possibly a little submitter's quip at the end (but even those I don't really like).

      Feel free to fix it. As it is our newspapers do the same to their articles. Unbiased press my ass.
      I was cutting both ways. On one hand great this is needed. On their other it is another level of surveillance. Giving that we have gangs of thugs beating people up in the streets this type of recoding in public spaces will only increase.
