The shame of it
9am to day, 1 horse village, half term, no traffic
"Community speed check team" (think compo/clegg/foggy) in a bus shelter pointing a hand held speed camera at me, my speedo is just below the 40 (in a 30) so my actual speed probably 36 ish
That would be my 4th in 40 years driving, all in 30mph zones, all about 4mph over (white van, 7.5tonner and taxi work).............

If it's anything like this you can expect a letter containing a literary finger wagging...

I wouldnt mind but we live up the road (in a 30) and the average speed must be 50 usually...
My mate does the cam thing it in my village (TDi commuter brigade shooting up tiny side roads at 50's), so I fully support it here. Anyway he says the camera can't be used as evidence as the civvies operating it makes it more or less invalid.
He reckons if a few letters are sent out to the same person then real police may give them a talking to or actually try to use the data to prosecute. It might even be doing it more than once to get a letter sent, can't remember exactly.
So I'd rest easy OP.

"Drivers found to be speeding are issued with an advisory warning letter requesting that they slow down and observe the speed limit. If the same vehicle is caught on a second or subsequent occasion by any Community Speed Watch team a follow-up final letter is issued.
If it is identified that the vehicle has been caught speeding through any Speed Watch for the third time within 12 months, the background of the vehicle will be checked and information will be passed to the appropriate local policing team who will organise for the keeper to be visited and warned."

The Mrs got one of these a couple of years back, but it hadn't been her driving 
She never heard any more about it, although I haven't been allowed to forget
don't speed where you know there are cameras, and as they are a civi, and not a proper police man (or woman) and all they do is right your speed down on a clipboard, tell the to f
k them selves, as you can ask them where their proper certification is that the camera is calibrated and where are they a member of the police, and were they on duty doing speed camera duty.
all in all, tell them, "fk off mate, your a bell end with a speed radar who cannot prosecute as you are not a member of the police and your camera is not calibrated to police standards, not that it matters, as you are not the police, so how about actually do something meaningfulll with your live you rather than be a fking loser with a speed radar noting down speeds, my god, your live must be lacking, perhaps in the bedroom department, as your wife (if you have one you fking boring fk) must not be putting out, and that must of been for quite some years for you to try to get pleasure in noting down people going a couple of mile an hour over the limit"
not a lawer, but interested in law and have some experience in it.
tldr; go fk yourselves your self entitled wannabe copper pricks
