What do you mean, clickbait? Why is the 2nd car taking pictures of mine when I'm over the limit, and what is the intended use of that image? I'm not saying that you didn't read TFA, but I don't think you read all of it. Take a look at that flowchart that's toward the bottom. And what is referred to with the word "pursuit" in that flowchart?


> What do you mean, clickbait?

I read the “you” in the title to imply it’s reporting on its owners. That’s a massive breach of trust.

I’ve snapped a license plate of a reckless driver and sent it to 311. This is the same thing, except the car is doing it for me.

I see the confusion now. "May Detect Your Speeding..." must have been one word too much for the headline editor.

Still, poorly-worded for sure but I don't think "clickbait" entails someone reading the title differently than intended.
