Operation Top Deck has been rolled out which deploys police officers on the top deck of double-decker buses to snare motorists flouting road rules.
Plain-clothed officers are equipped with video cameras to record drivers using their mobile devices while driving.
The new initiative has been put in place to try and crack down on the number of motorists ignoring the road rule.
The West Midlands force’s Road Harm Reduction Team for in tandem with some officers on the buses while some are on bikes.
