Just passed a copper with a hand held spped gun in a 30mph zone, not sure of my speed but know i was over the limit!!! do they record your details or do they have to pull you over?????????
-
As far as i am aware they need to pull you over,they normally work in pairs , or as i found out last month jump out on you , yes i got pulled i was doing 33 in 30 zone , i got lucky maybe the charm of the two year old in the car saved me and i got ticked off after he had show me the gun.
So in short they ( if memory serves right ) need to pull you there and then and show you the gun / record as unless im very much mistaken it can't take a photo ( the gun that is ) and neither will it record your details. It's one point / check ( pull you or reset it for the next one )
maybe wrong

I think you'll find the plod who's operating it saves the image, which would have your number plate on, so you might get something in the post, I did on the A505 outside Dunstable. :cry:

That must be with a hand-held camera and not a radar. According to speedtraps.co.uk (or whatever its called) the police must stop you if they get you with a radar gun.

Ok, but I wonder who'd know what type of Gun they were zapped with, from a distance :smiley:

Cheers guys, was definately a small hand held one, got a damn good look at it!!! Will just have to keep an eye on the postman for the next few weeks to make sure.

Surely the question is 'Does it record your number plate?', not 'Does it record your speed?'.
i would of thought any speed detecting item under the sun will record speed?

Not sure but the one that got me last weekend had a huge lens housing so was pretty obviously a camera.

Might just be one of these community plebs, er, sorry.. volunteers :rolleyes: who record speeding motorists. Worse that will probably happen is you will get a poison letter through the post telling you to stop speeding :smiley:

I bloddy hate all these speeds cameras and idiots with the handheld ones.
If there aint enough to concentrate on the roads. They need scraping.
