Kingston police started using drones to catch texto-drivers; but it got shut down by public opinion over privacy concerns.

Yeah, that makes sense. Drones can see things that a human can't reasonably, and they can store video footage indiscriminately. But I think it's totally fair for cops to ride the city bus to catch drivers out. Especially if they're in uniform. They can easily snap a picture or a 5-second video by hand.
