Buckle up, Canberra drivers, because the AI cameras are hitting hard! In a surprisingly short period, just 36 days, these new traffic detection cameras have issued a staggering $3.1 million in fines. That's right, a whopping sum collected from 3,601 seatbelt offenses recorded between November 3rd and December 9th.
This rapid-fire fining spree highlights the increasing use of technology in traffic enforcement. But here's where it gets controversial: Are these cameras simply making our roads safer, or are they a revenue-generating tool? What do you think?
