I thought they only took (or saved) photos of cars which it detected as going too fast? I set off one of those flashing signs on my bike the other day - doing about 32 mph on the approach to a 30 mph zone. If cameras use the same sort of sensor then I guess it would take a photo of you if you went fast enough although the potential chafing from pedalling that fast would put me off trying! You don't even have to be doing 30. I have been flashed twice when doing less than the 30 limit (one explanation proffered was something to do with the doppler effect, whereas others swear that there must have been someone going over the limit the other way). |

It says "mobile camera" in the article. |
