If the police are on the side of the road with a camera (on a tripod stand) do they have to pull you over to fine you etc etc 
Reason being i was just driving down the a127 and i noticed the police standing in the corner, i was going over the speed limit so i slowed down and i noticed they had a camera there  i thought ohhhhh dear, when i looked at them as i was going past they didnt look at me atall 
Whats the score here then guys and gals ??
Do they have to pull me over there and then or if the worst comes to the worst do i expect something in the post

I had similar one, but I got pulled over. Have seen other ones on a tripod where they can photograph your number plate or write it down. Not sure though sorry.

yup if u were mor than 3% over the speed limit youve more than likly been done. they dont flash & they dont have to pull you over just takes a photo ov your no plate then posts you youre fine & points. was it a dual carraige way ? cos the camera can only concentrate on one lane at a time.

They don't have to pull you over.
If your on a motorway and the cop car is using VASCAR then they will pull you over and write you out a ticket.
If the cops are at the roadside using a mobile camera then they don't necessarily pull you over. I have seen mobile cameras on the tops of bridges overlooking a motorway. It is gonna be impossible to pull you over from there. They just get your reg plate and it comes through the post.
