    it was on top gear the other day, they had the bloke on who is incharge of placing them on roads and he said by law they can not have front facing fixed cameras, and if its on the other side of the road it cant get you.

    not true, I got done from the front (in Northampton!!) and they only point at the plate and not into the car.

    And again, got caught from a Gatso and they flash the whole of the car from behind.
