Policeman with radar-type gun
The question is have I been done (if for the sake of argument I had been going over the limit).
The policeman was parked up on the hard shoulder of the M3, not in a police pull in point. He was holding what looked like the big telephoto lens that you get with cameras. He was not holding it up to his head, rather he held it at chest level and was looking down onto it and then up at the traffic and if aiming at cars.
If I was doing over the limit is that the kind of device where they have to then stop you and give you a ticket or do they now have handheld devices that automatically record your speed and your number plate and a picture (so you are issued a ticket by post) that does not involve stopping you?

I've seen plod hiding under bridges with these.
Saw one many years ago, in fact.
I reacted very quickly and was only doing about 90-95.
So I dunno conclusively what they are.
Handhelds are sooo unreliable, challenge it if you get a tug.

Is there a handheld device in existence that means they don't have to stop you there and then but will post you the ticket?? And does it match my description?

the results are something like this: http://www.pepipoo.com/LTi2020_timeout.htm
They take a photo and record a dubiously accurate speed to send you a notice of intended prosecution (NIP) later.
If you get a NIP I would fill out this form: http://www.pepipoo.com/NIP_wizard.php
or have a read of the forums: http://forums.pepipoo.com/
The people there are very helpful
