Should I worry about a letter this crimbo? (N.London- N11)
Discussion
Hi, i think i might have just got caught speeding on my way home an hour ago (the road near Arnos Grove station near where the scrapyard used to be, for anyone knows the area). I was driving down the hill, totally clear (i guess i was doing about 38-40), i reach the bottom and behind a tall tree & hedge there was smug looking git holding a gun thingy and two BMW plod cars 
However, i drove past 15 mins later for a closer look and they looked to have pulled over a dodgy looking in an ancient passat... could there be a dim glimmer of hope that they could have been using ANPR cameras or something rather than speed ones?
To be honest, i think my greatest hope is that my front number plate was too dirty to read, i've been up and down the M4 all week and haven't washed it in yonks!
Bonus points to the guy in the Civic flashing his lights at the cars coming down the hill!!!
Can anyone send my some good old fashioned hope for christmas?
Thanks!

Since it was police rather than scammers, they would have pulled you over at the time if they were going to do you for speeding. Since revenue (and therefore maximising prosecutions) is not the aim with the police, they always pull people over, as this helps with driver identification and detection of other offences, and it actually means that they're enforcing the speed limit and stopping the driver speeding, rather than just taking a photograph, letting the driver carry on with their oh-so-dangerous behaviour without even alerting them to it, and sending it in the post.However, i drove past 15 mins later for a closer look and they looked to have pulled over a dodgy looking in an ancient passat... could there be a dim glimmer of hope that they could have been using ANPR cameras or something rather than speed ones?

Police do have the power to send NIPs later for offences that they have observed, but they would only normally use this when they'd spotted something but couldn't deal with it at the time (e.g. because they were on a shout or the offender was on the opposite carriageway). I've never heard of them doing it as a result of a normal check.
So, basically, relax.
), any more and i'm verging on losing my license GEP said:
