Gas Station Mirror Mystery Goes Viral on TikTok—and It Wasn't a Two-Way Mirror

A viral TikTok clip claimed a gas station bathroom had a two-way mirror, prompting online speculation. Follow-up inspection showed the mirrors were standard, mounted with a tiled wall behind them, not a two-way pane. The piece also outlines simple tests people use to distinguish two-way mirrors, such as the fingernail gap test and flashlight test, while noting these methods aren’t foolproof and that the setup appeared suspicious to some viewers regardless of the outcome.

"Police Officer Demonstrates How to Detect Surveillance Through Two-Way Mirrors"

A police officer's TikTok video demonstrating how to detect a two-way mirror in public spaces has gone viral, amassing over 7.2 million views. By placing a finger on the mirror and checking for a gap between the finger and its reflection, viewers can determine if they are being watched. The officer later clarified the method, explaining the difference between mirror types and providing a two-step authentication process for checking mirrors. The video is intended to help people concerned about potential surveillance in hotel rooms or Airbnb accommodations, and it works for standard glass-manufactured mirrors but not for cheaper ones without a glass layer.
