An AI camera trial in Birmingham and Wolverhampton flagged almost 19,000 potential driving offences in two weeks, mostly people not wearing seatbelts and drivers using phones. Images showed a passenger holding a small child on their lap and a driver gripping a phone with both hands. West Midlands mayor Richard Parker called the findings shocking. No fines will follow, though police are considering future enforcement.
