French Outsource Speed Cameras

The private firms will only be allowed on roads that are pre-determined by police, and won't have access to information about which vehicles have been caught speeding.
The new cameras will be looking out for anyone going 10km/hr above the speed limit in zones where the speed limit is under 100km/hr, and will snare people going ten percent above the speed limit in zones where the limit is above 100km/hr.
Police won't be involved in the camera work at all from September. And where two police (or regional police) officers are currently needed for the job, private firms will only need one person.

We've had this system in Ireland for over six years. Private copmany supplies the vans and operators. You get a NIP. Ours are located in areas of danger and frequent accidents as defined by our Police. They operate 24/7 and are not paid a bonus for getting culprits.
Some vans ( possibly not enough ) have gone up in flames, it does not pay to capture video of some people who might be members of illegal organisations or crime families.
We do not have fixed speed cameras like Gastos etc, and our police still mount some speed checks.

This might be of interest to some of the Le Mans visitors.

Embedded radars, managed by private companies, will flash more vehicles.
French Road Safety announced Monday the launch of experimentation of embedded radars run by private companies, to the dismay of the association 40 million motorists who denounces their "privatization". It's a way to make more use of these radars. The test begins Friday in Normandy. It "will not give rise to any contravention" at first, ensures Road Safety.
The roads of Normandy will host the experimentation of embedded radars managed by private companies, as of Friday. This test will last until September 1st, when the device will be operational in Normandy with "the first radar car driven by a private operator" , before being "progressively extended to other regions" .
This launch follows the announcement by the government on October 2, 2015 of the "outsourcing" of the piloting of cars carrying the new generation mobile radars (RMNG), entrusted to "authorized service providers" by the State to multiply the Number of checks. A call for tenders had been launched.
"Generating large sums of money"
"The privatization of embedded radars has no other purpose than to generate, thanks to the fines resulting from the contraventions, large sums of money which will end up in the coffers of the State ... On the other hand, No proof that this measure has any positive effect on road safety , " said the president of 40 million motorists, Daniel Quero.
The association estimates that, at full capacity, this system will enable the State to collect 2.2 billion euros a year. Having gathered nearly 300,000 signatures in a petition against this "scandalous measure" , it calls Motorists to send them their photos which will then be broadcast for a "digital event" .
Companies roll automatic radars.
Interior Minister Bruno Le Roux announced on 8 January that the call for tenders had been launched so that these embarked radars "are entrusted to companies that will only drive them" . "They will remain under the responsibility of the State ," he assured, since the infractions are detected by the automatic radar embarked and that the speeding ticket is written by a police officer at the traffic offense processing center of Rennes.
"The average use of one of these radars is a little over an hour a day (1:13.), It is material that is underutilized. It needs much more use to ensure that the speeding behavior is punished, "explained Bruno Le Roux.
Private companies " will not be compensated for the number of infringements"
Private companies "will not be compensated for the number of infractions but for the time the radar has spent on the road ," he said.
This measure is part of a strategy to try to stop the increase in road fatalities since 2014. In 2016, 3,469 people died on the roads, an increase for the third consecutive year, the first since 1972.

As I understand it, at present the only way les flics can get money out of you if you are speeding on UK plates is to nab you in person and levy on the spot fines or confiscate your licence if you have been a very naughty boy.
At some point in the future HM govt was going to bring in the exchange of information that would allow you to be nabbed for points and fines by fixed and mobile cameras like they do over here. This of course was pre-Brexit vote. Whether this will happen now is anybody's guess.
