Police Speed Detection Cars?

In the OP's circumstances it's unlikely they will get a Fixed Penalty Notice or FPN but what will more than likely occur is they'll receive a Police Officer Ordered Prosecution through the mail in around 2 weeks instead, so keep an eye out for the POOP through your letterbox.

So are you confirming these cars exist?

I got done for speeding in New Zealand by a cop driving towards me. They have the tech over there.

I am sure they have it here as well, but I have a feeling that if it was actively in use, and motorists were being prosecuted as a result, I am sure that more folk would be aware of that!

If, by any chance, I should happen to receive any follow-up correspondence of any type, then I will certainly let you all know!

I thought they could only prosecute for speeding if it was a marked car and/ or being flagged down by an unmarked car with its blues on

It was definitely an unmarked car, and obviously didn't 'flag me down', or even 'flash'me.

Considering it requires someone in the rear to man the camera I'd imagine they'd have a hard job doing that and driving the van at the same time since they're all single crewed!

Newer vans have cameras in the front and sides
 
Don't think they will have had any problem reading my number plate... it's the speed detection I am a bit more concerned about!

I am sure that it will be here one day though.

I have read that these 'static' vans can catch you while they are on the move!

Technically possible. In-fact, it can be done and I have done it with a handheld.

It's not approved for such use, non evidential and would never result in a prosecution however. Primarily seeing as you have to factor in your own speed, whether you are closing or making distance on the subject and then roughing out a figure. A total exercise in curiosity/messing about than anything else.
 
Just ignore it, unmarked cars are utterly lolworthy when people stop for them.

It could literally be a guy about to murder you, why would you stop...
 
I approached a speed camera van last week, i was going over the speed limit, he was coming towards me pointing at the camera in the front of his van! Obviously he was saying 'I GOT YOU!'. So, i will wait to find out!
