Google Glasses: These will be part of traffic enforcements latest arsenal Source: News Corp Australia

YOUR least favourite people just got a little less likable.

Parking wardens equipped with numberplate recognition software in front of their eyes are about to hit the streets of Sydney which will put an end to the trick of simply wiping chalk marks off tyres.

The cyborg-like devices are expected to raise even further revenue through fines for councils.

Google, in conjunction with Sydney company TechBeach, has developed software that will enable council workers to tell if somebody has overstayed their welcome in less than a blink of the eye.

The software will be embedded in pairs of Google Glasses worn by parking officers.

Manly Council will be the first to trial the software, however a number of councils around the state are understood to be considering rolling out the technology.

At least one parking officer in Manly will be wearing Google Glasses from as early as next month.

While details surrounding the futuristic measure remain scant, it is believed parking officers will be able to tell how long a car has been in a certain parking spot simply by looking at it.
