Large Van, no Markings, cameras on tripods, cop on a bike
Discussion
So what was this set up?
9.30pm last night, located on a cross roads outside Camberley, by the Yellow Box Storage Company.
Large Van Parked up on the central area by the lights, cop on a motorbike sitting with them, cameras facing in all directions, some on poles, others low down on tripods, cameras I am assuming they were cameras looked like a pair of binoculars, the cop seemed to be waiting or looking at a screen. The van was manned but not marked and it was late, I assume it was a speeding trap with the cop on the bike pulling the offenders up?

none of these sort of things ever bother me - put them every few miles if they like
Would possibly agree with this until last month when it turned out that I had inadvertently been driving with no MOT for a month. This was nothing other than honestly believing it was due at a different point. It was only after I had booked an MOT and then wen to look at the paper work that I discovered it. Would have been mighty hacked off to get a £1K fine for it.none of these sort of things ever bother me - put them every few miles if they like

You would not have received a £1000 fine for it.Yep- it's more down to HMG loosing revenue than all else. No insurance - I agree with taking it off them. No VED, with MOT and insurance , MAJOR CRIME- Chancellor is loosing money.
So - no VED, car impounded. No insurance -car impounded .No MOT,possibly the most dangerous, but unless a major fault is found at the roadside ,and any problems could be found on test- ticket and allowed to go on way .
but in this case ,I'd suggest ANPR.

Catching those who deliberately break the law, I understand. But catching those who are incapable of breaking the law? none of these sort of things ever bother me - put them every few miles if they like

In Surrey, where the van was;
No Insurance - car seized
No Driving licence - car seized
No VED - £100 ticket car not seized
No MOT - £100 ticket, car checked, possible prohibition if dangerous, car not seized.
