Not Gatsos - they would as they take a flash photo. I mean the Truvelo (sp?) type that take a shot of the front of the car. I would have thought that with the glare of headlights, they would have a hard time working. Any ideas?

Magenta flash filter for front photography.
I know this to be correct. There are many of these infernal devices in my area, all located where it's safest to speed. They are very dazzling nevertheless!

Not as sneaky as the scamera van on a bridge at night on the A14. Whether they were there to actually catch speeders I dont know.

Gatso's take rear facing pic's, so bikes can get caught. Front facing Truvelo's and SPECs cannot nab bikes though.
