Crotch Cams: The New AI Cameras Photographing Drivers

Posted on May 09, 2026

Ezekiel Diet Note: Good to know how these cameras are used by law enforcement. It’s simply another way to extract a tax from people who can least afford it. I call seat belt and phone holding tickets a “gotcha tax.”

On guard Goy! If you don’t want to get pulled over for a phone or seat belt infraction, or anything on the front seat,  keep an eye out for these cameras. You could also keep the sun-visor flipped all the way forward shielding part of their windshield view.

Mobile phone and seatbelt detection cameras may sound like a narrow traffic enforcement tool, but many people know them by a more revealing nickname: “crotch cams.” In this video, Dr. Jon Padfield examines how these cameras work, why they are spreading across the United States, and what they actually mean for privacy, surveillance, and public policy. He breaks down federal traffic fatality data, questions whether photographing drivers’ groin areas is really the best way to improve safety, and compares these systems to other interventions like rumble strips, pavement markers, and pedestrian islands that may save more lives without expanding surveillance.

Drawing on his own highway safety research background, Jon argues that serious public safety questions deserve serious debate, not rhetoric or gaslighting. He also explores the broader incentives behind these systems, including revenue generation, data collection, and the growing overlap between roadside surveillance and in-vehicle monitoring technology. If we truly want safer roads, this video asks whether more cameras are the answer—or whether we are choosing surveillance over better solutions.
