In a surprising turn of events, an AI camera deployed for traffic monitoring penalised a priest for not using his seatbelt, which was behind his long beard.
Priest John George, vicar of St. John the Baptist Orthodox Syrian Church, Patamus, had to face the incident. The priest was captured by the AI camera last night. After meeting his parents at Adoor, he returned to Kakkadu via the Chengannur-Nagampadam road.
The priest received a notification on his mobile phone about paying a penalty for not wearing seatbelt. AI cameras in Tiruvalla, Kallissery, Kottayam and Nagamath have fined the priest Rs 500 each for not wearing a seat belt.
The next day, after receiving the message, the priest visited the Kakkanad RTO for giving clarity on this. On showing the photo he received in the message, his seatbelt was hidden by his long beard.
