Nothing that a couple of strips of thick masking tape can't sort out.
Job jobbed.
Don't care if it's recording anything, it's not peeping through my bedroom window. Even if it was , quite happy to share my powerfully built directors frame with them. Job jobbed.
Just curious what it may be, something " official" ? Gotta be for something other than peeping.

Law enforcement in the UK don't use private/personal plates. Some Walt character I suspect.
Didn't think it was BiB, perhaps something council related? There are issues with traffic down a very small lane, and people parking at the end of the lane where it joins the main road . Possibly some sort of traffic monitoring? But the camera isn't really pointing at the problem junction . There's another cam pointing right at the hedge. Buff Mchugelarge said:
That's an ANPR set up. Awfully expensive for for a Walter Mittty type I'd have thought?
Not to mention the legalities.
The lane is an exit for a local kiddies petting zoo type thing, gets a fair bit of traffic in the summer. Could it just be a road fund licence check up? Not to mention the legalities.

Its probably owned by a company who do the anpr and tax checks for the DVLA, it'll probably drive round spotting cars then call the clamping van in, the owner might have left it there whilst on holiday, or not, who knows, I'm surprised the cameras haven't been nicked by now if its been there a while.

Are the cameras worth decent money? If so, I'll nick them! It's deserted at night round here, only one neighbour and he's on holiday! Im joking of course.

They drive along and create a database of cars on the public road with no tax or insurance which is then used to send our fines and notifications. Unusual car for the job but it could easily be contracted out to a private firm. 
s Traffic Technology by the looks of that plate!

Some do the same for parking infringements too.
Some down the road neighbours don't have drives and do abandon cars at the junction with the main road, which makes the entrance a bit dodgy, and blocks the exit for coaches full of kids from the wildlife park/petting zoo thing. Wonder if it's related, wish it were, cos it's a ball ache where they park for me, (I'm not gonna be "that guy" and complain though, it's only a minor irritation.)
Cameras aren't really pointed at the exit though.
They could get all the plates of cars going down the road though.
