Does the plod still have to put signs up....

...when they are using mobile cameras and hand held radar/laser guns?

I'm in Scotland so are the laws any different up here?

I think you'll find that the guidelines say yes, but they're only guidelines so no.

Many roads where camera vans operate now have permanent camera warning signs so that covers the guideline requirements. Where they don't, a sign on/behind/underneath/inside the van is equally adequate for their needs.

Thanks

Noticed the camera vans have stopped doing it up here in Aberdeen. Got nicked on Sunday by a hidden cop car with a hand held laser gun again no signs.

Signs are not required when cops operate radar/laser at the roadside. Most forces have permanent signs out and about in their area to intimate that Police camera's operate but bear in mind that these signs apply to both speed and anpr camera's.
