I'm not sure what's true and what isnt about these things - people have varied opinions of the processes involved with them..

Today i think i may have been caught speeding by a police officer carrying one of these devices. He did not pull me over, but i did see him write something down on a clipboard he had with him as i drove past.

was the usual situation, out of an NSL dual carriageway round a corner into a 40 zone. i was doing somewhere between 60 and 40 - probably around 55 as i was slowing down (not on the brakes) before the big flashing "slow down" sign just round the corner.

I've asked a few people and some people say that because he didnt pull me over, i didnt get caught - but i've also had people say that that's not necessarily the case and i may just recieve the usual stuff through the post within 14 days..

Anyone know for sure what the usual/possible process is for these type of camera ?
 
If he had an LTi 20-20, that is effectively a video camera with build in speed measuring capability, eg you don't need to be stopped as they have a nice video of you speeding to use as evidence and you can expect a NIP through the post in 14 days,

However afaik these camera's are mainly used in the mobile speed camera vans, and that police officers themselves just use laser/radar speed measurement devices and they then need to stop you...

I've been caught twice by mobile speed camera's, both times the vans were using the LTi 20-20, and both times I just got a nip through the post, I wasn't pulled over at the time...
 
I'm unsure whether it was actually one of the 20/20 guns, but it looked much larger than the one posted in the thread on pepipoo... it was DEFFINITELY a police officer though, and he was deffinitely on his own.
 
The LTi 20-20 does not have a built in video camera, but is usualy used in conjunction with one for evidence.

You just need to check the doormat everyday for the next two weeks...
