New type of scamera.... err van?

[divetheworld]

Spotted this on the A14 in Northampton. It is a wagon trailer that was parked up by the side of the A14 without a tractor unit. Traffic facing were two open flaps near the top of the trailer. It looked odd, suspicious even. So I took a good look as I passed and that's when I saw the Police livery all over the back....
Is this something new?





And Yes, my dashcam is very old and resembles a potato

Sneaky! What is printed down the side of the wagon?

Some pictorial graphic of your friendly local bobbies or something.

It might be to identify HGV drivers on their phone/watching pr0n etc rather than to catch speeding motorists?

They park them in load theft hot spots to warn drivers of the risk. Nothing untoward

I see those flaps (that were open) have ANPR CCTV written next to them. Deffo camera equipped, question is, LTi also?

I guess it depends on how paranoid you are?

Northamptonshire vans run a pretty consistent livery, I would expect to see a speed camera logo on the rear and the speed limits on the side of the trailer if they were using it for speed enforcement.

Do ANPR cameras usually get installed in pairs like the camera van pictured?

They seem to on vans presumably to cover multiple lanes but I've only ever seen cars fitted with one.
