How can the police tell when you don’t have a seatbelt on?

Question

As a younger kid, I always wondered how the police noticed when you didn’t have a seatbelt on. There doesn’t seem to be any exterior signal that screams “HEY THIS PERSON DOESN’T HAVE A SEATBELT ON!!!”, And the windows seem too dim to notice at a glance.

During the daytime, as long as you don’t have tinted windows, a cop can see pretty easily through your windows if he’s wearing polarized sunglasses – polarized lenses really cut through reflections and glare.

Also, he’ll have an easier time noticing the lack of a seatbelt the lighter your shirt/jacket is, since more often than not, seatbelts are dark grey in color.
