    Unlikely, the most likely would have stopped you.
    Not if they were on foot they wouldn't have.
    Obviously the officers (on foot) who stopped me successfully on two separate occasions hadn't got the memo.

    How did he manage this I wonder ??
    Did he drop the camera ??
    but the guy holding the camera threw both his hands out to his side in a "what  are you doing" manner. 
    Have you not considered the fact the camera may well have been mounted on a tripod.
    No because the guy said 'Hand Held' !!
    NOT 'On a tripod'

    They had the car parked out of site but it was close they could have easily held up their hand to get me to stop but didn't 
    Maybe with the current requirements for social distancing they didn't see the need to stop you as any notice could easily be sent through the post thereby avoiding any potential risk to them or you.

    A speed gun isn't usually carried on foot patrol though is it
  • Have you got a dash cam in your car? Many dash cams these days record your speed and you might just save yourself the anxious wait if you can check it out yourself.

    Having to sweat it for a fortnight is minimum the penalty for doing 40 in a 30.
    Tall, dark & handsome. Well two out of three ain't bad.

    Maybe but with the current postal system where things are taking longer than usual to get delivered to me and then I have to post my reply back and them to receive it within 28 days it's not ideal. I also said they pulled someone over couple of weeks ago when using a hand held camera, social distancing was in force then as well.

    Well it's good of you to come on the forum and tell everyone about your crime. Luckily it sounds like nobody was injured. It doesn't sound as though you are going to go to the police station to confess so we can only hope the police catch up with you.
