(i) mostly unintelligent people

How are they supposed to know this?

do they have a camera installed in your house watching you, or
something?

Don't need that. traffic analysis can give you a clue actually.

No.
If you car is travelling slow as evinced by e.g. a GPS signal phoning

or it could be that I am just driving slower
