Australia has an enormous amount of traffic cameras and hand out tickets like I hand out candy on Halloween.

Don't know why OP dropped an important regional distinction.. not a problem in Honduras, for example. Or Washington state

I am very torn on this, because something absolutely needs to be done about phone usage while driving as it's just genuinely shocking.

On the other hand, such pervasive and ever present law enforcement is oppressive. If the majority of your citizens are breaking a law, then your citizenship clearly thinks the law is unnecessary. We give road laws a pass because safety is quite provable through studies and we listen to our researchers, but if we scaled this out to all crimes (like jaywalking) I think you would see just about everyone is a criminal eventually.

Which law do you think the majority of the citizenship here is breaking?

It's actually very simple. Put a cop by the sidewalk, have them stop people and issue a fine. You'd be making several grand every day. I would do it myself, but I am not authorized to stop people and take their money. There is no need for cameras when the violations are so blatantly obvious and recurring.
