I was under the impression that TRUVELO does not have a visible flash?

It has a flash with a magenta filter, it will be visible in certain light, just not as bright as a normal flash.

Actually it's wise to deliberately trigger them from the front because it'll bring attention to the PTB that the aim is wrong so you're actually doing them a favour. Of course there is a downside in that frames of film are being wasted that might otherwise be used to prosecute dangerous drivers...

If you mean to the immediate right of your carriageway: yes
If you mean the opposite side of the opposite carriageway: I've never seen a fixed cam enforce in that way, but mobile units (lidar) can get you (geometry/obstacles permitting).
