I dunno where you live, but about twice a day now I drive past a phone and seat belt detection cameras (that move every day, they’re mounted in a trailer). They issue a $1,116 fine and four demerit points for not wearing a seatbelt - which means if you do it three days in a row your license is gone. I know someone who was caught three days in a row too - they received the three fines in the mail a week later and the judge showed exactly zero compassion.
They needed to drive for their job, so the judge gave an exemption for the company car. But commuting to/from work had to be by bus for six months.
The numbers probably aren’t in yet for how effective the camera is, but something is definitely being done about seatbelts.
