I don’t have a problem with Automated systems detecting cases of unsafe driving (RedLight, Speeding, etc) and actions that cause unsafe driving (Distracted Driving), but passenger seatbelts should be left to the discretion of the driver.

And all cases need to be independently investigated and vetted by a trained law-enforcement officer, without any obligation to reach quotas.
