SA Police has been issuing fines to drivers caught by mobile phone detection cameras with devices on their laps, despite state regulations not expressly authorising officers to look for this conduct in photographs.
The State Government has now closed the loophole after some drivers challenged their fines in court.
The government has now removed the legal ambiguity by amending its state regulations to include resting a mobile phone on any part of the body under the definition of “use,” explicitly authorising officers to look for this conduct in detection camera photographs.
The full expanded definition now includes “resting the body of the phone on any part of the driver’s body (whether or not engaged in a phone call or operating or engaging with any other function of the phone), except where the body of the phone is in a pocket of the driver’s clothing or in a pouch worn by the driver and the driver is not engaged in a phone call or operating or engaging with any other function of the phone”.

South Australian commuters struggling with the volatile fuel market will get a reprieve, with public transport fare increases to be temporarily halted.
Fares, including the popular metroCARD, were set to rise under annual indexation on July 1, but the state government will put in place a three-month interim pause on any cost increase to public transport users.
The current metroCARD fare levels will be maintained until October 1, and will be subject to a government review as to when it is appropriate to implement the 3.3 per cent fare increase, considering factors such as the Middle East conflict and its impact on fuel prices.
