The simple answer is 'Yes'. Police cars in Australia have cameras and a pod trapped between the rear passenger window and frame. They can clock you going in either direction. The stationary vans can also get your though their smoked rear window. They dont require a hatch or curtain covering the open doorway. This means that can sit in the van with the aircon running.
I dont believe any of this technology is currently used in the UK however, so you are probably safe

Will it be going under the door handles instead??
Yeah, be afraid the boogermans will get you
thats why i always keep plastic sheeting, tape, an axe and shovel in the boot of the car... never know whey you are going to have to dispose of potential murderer... as my granny used to say... "they aint dioing no more murdering once they are 6 foot under"

It depends entirely on what car you were driving.
Most photo camera flashes flash twice, first time for red-eye reduction. It's more likely someone simply took a photo of your car.
Soldato
no they cant.
Those cams need to be static to record speed, there not smart enough to calculate your speed on the move.
it would have to know their speed as well as yours to calculate it because of the closing speed between you both.

I've been flashed a few times by oncoming marked police cars on the opposite side of the road before, nothing came of it. Can't imagine an unmarked car resulting in anything more than that either?

why does someone need to 'man the camera' it's not an F15.
And you are?
Diddums, it says it next to his post.
Because it's a laser device that requires accurate alignment with the subject vehicle. It won't 'Just work'.
Because the mobile camera is only supposed to be allowed to target cars they make a reasonable estimate are speeding in the first place, they're not supposed to just ping every car they see.
And you are?

You'll be fine. In other countries, they do use cameras mounted in parked unmarked cars which flash, but not in the UK. Even camera vans cannot record your speed whist they're moving.
