18 Operation of driver behaviour camera systems

(1)  A driver behaviour camera system may be used to detect portable device offences or seatbelt offences.

(2)  If a driver behaviour camera system is used to detect portable device offences or seatbelt offences, or both, it must be operated so that, when an instrument or computer forming part of the system registers that the driver of a vehicle may have committed an offence –

(a) the system creates a digital incident file containing a photograph of the vehicle or data from which a photograph of the vehicle is capable of being derived; and

(b) the photograph so taken or derived, and included in the digital incident file, shows the following information:

(i) the serial number of the system;

(ii) the date on which and time at which the photograph was taken or the data was recorded;

(iii) the operator's code for the person who installed the system or was operating it when the photograph was taken or the data was recorded;

(iv) the location code for the place where the photograph was taken or the data was recorded.
