Have I been caught by a "speed" camera?

[PleaseGimmeBimmer]

I was on my motorcycle today (MT-07) and rode past a moving ford transit police van, I was approaching from the front doing about 43, then as I passed slowed to about 38 in a 30 and he was just about to turn a corner so he was probably doing 10/15. The van is not a marked camera van (as in the speed camera signs on front and rear) however does have 2 small black cameras on either side of the rear of the van, both were emitting a red diamond shaped light. The cameras are similar to the one in the photo above except there's two of them. Have I been caught? Or are they simply ANPR cameras?

I'd be very impressed if they attempted to make a prosecution using a speed camera mounted to a moving vehicle

I quite sure you'll be fine.

Least of your worries ..



In the UK they don't use lidar from a moving vehicle (yet).

If it's a BTP van it's used for level crossing enforcement, not speed

If you were in a train they may be interested. Its from British Transport Police.

As said, they're for monitoring crossings, also trespassing, theft and vandalism on railway property. The cameras have a decent zoom so they can pitch up a good distance away so they don't get clocked.

FTFY

This is the van BTP park at level crossings to prevent idiots trying to jump lights as barriers are dropping, so nothing will happen
