Did you catch me!?

[JM3]

Evening,

Just wondering what the legality of asking a speed camera van "did you just catch me"?

In the city there's a 20 limit, and when I got to the end of the road there was a traffic officer with a speed camera, I was doing around 25. Decided to turn back and ask. To which he replied NO.

Just wondering, do they have to say yes or no? I'm not the type to drive past and be stressed about getting a letter through the door...

John.

Yeah, some locations they use are annoying.


Was just wondering if they had a obligation to say yes or no.

Thanks for the EFA!

i don't have a problem with them, and if I'm speeding so be it. But if I wanted to know there and then I would like to think they could answer yes or no, and not be smug about it.

Just thinking out loud, but by knocking on the door of a van and asking if you have been caught, surely that could be construde as "admitting to speeding" or "admitting to driving without due care and attention" by not knowing the speed you were travelling?

I see your point, am I right in thinking the police speeding van operatives arent actually police?
