    So you’ll occasionally see two white lines perpendicular to the road at a set internal. A helicopter, drone, or plane can time when a car passes both of these lines and can calculate the average speed of the car.

    This info is then relayed to a police car on the ground who then pulls over the driver.

        Less likely to be noticed by drivers or alerts like on Waze. Probably a bit more costly though if they’re using helicopters or planes instead of drones.

            Deterrence. You never know when they might be monitoring you above, so watch your speed.
