Apparent drug use, texting and legs on the dashboard are among the extensive list of "mind boggling" offending caught on high-tech cameras along Western Australian roads.
WA has a population of 3 million. That’s equivalent to one in 20 people being detected. State revenue is going stonks. That’s between $1.5B and $3B in fines. I don’t think it will change driver behaviour though.
Nobody is going to get fined for having a drink in their hand though. There’s no way of proving from a photo that it’s alcoholic. I’m not sure about WA, but it was legal in VIC to drink whilst driving up until the last few years (I think 2017).
The dog law is a clear law. The cameras absolutely can and should detect and issue fines for that.

Driving a van and truck around Melbourne, way more than 1/20 are fucking about with their phones.
