We have this in Ontario now. It comes with a $500+ fine. Mostly I don't object to it, as it's pretty dangerous for cops and other emergency personnel to stand at the side of the road nowadays. But I do object when they set up stings to trap motorists, which they did just days after the law came into effect.

On the other hand, Ontario just enacted laws prohibiting all hand-held phones for drivers -- something that should go a long way towards improving road safety -- but I've yet to see them enforce it. Sting or no sting.
