How Speed Cameras REALLY Catch YouAdded:
Most people think speed cameras only snap a photo when you drive too fast, but here's the wild part. Some speed cameras don't actually measure your speed at all. They measure the tiny change in the pitch of your car's sound, just like how a passing siren suddenly drops in tone. It's called the Doppler effect, and the camera listens for it, even if you're completely silent inside your car. So, yeah, some cameras literally catch you with their ears, not their eyes.
