NEW: Seat Belt Cameras Are Coming Onto Ireland's Road

Future cameras won't necessarily be looking at your registration plate. They may be looking inside the car

Speed cameras look at how you're driving.

It will require legislative change before

enforcement can begin, but the groundwork is being laid now by the Department of Transport.

It raises an important question: if occupants of cars can be prosecuted for failing to wear seat belts, will this involve the introduction of facial recognition technology to identify them?

And if so, where does this end?
