Parked on a street near a speed camera was enough to get one driver a speed camera warning notice according to the Chicago Tribune.

The driver, received a warning notice for her parked car getting clocked going 37 miles per hour. Confused, she checked the online video and saw that her car sitting still while another car speed past in the opposite direction.

The incident upset her enough that she reached out to the newspaper to share her story.

City officials and a spokesperson for American Traffic Solutions, the city’s speed camera vendor say it was an isolated incident and explain it was a simple mistake by a technician assigning the speed warning to the wrong vehicle. They went on to say it was not indicative of a broader, systemic problem.

The city has issued over 300,000 speed camera warning notices over the past two months according to the Chicago Department of Transportation.
