Do the police hand held speed guns have camera's on them? I know the majority of the time they record how fast you were going on these and then pull you over. But do the new one's have camera's built into them?

over in n.ireland ive never heard of that before. but i suppose the law in n.ireland is always a few years behind the rest of the uk so it wont be long till the introduce them here then.

Hand held don't have recording equipment built in.

9 times out of 10 you will get away with a slap on the wrists if you word your response carefully

So if you go past a copper holding one and don't get pulled over then you won't get a NIP come through the post?

i thought with them they are just to measure the speed, if your speeding they have to then pull you over, if they dont get you straight away your all good.

I heard the other day that a hand held speed camera can read a brick wall doing 4mph, because of the slight vibration of the hand.

But not sure about taking pictures on them, the camera Vans take pictures though
