If it was a gatso you shouldn't get a ticket.
Truvelo and you probably will.

Gatso are only set up to be rear facing as the flash would otherwise distract. My B2 only goes off when passing gatsos this way.

If it was a Gatso and you set it off by driving towards it - it's a fake (ie no camera, just a simple radar and flash).

The thing was improperly set up, which shows the tyrants CGAF.

Don't worry. If you wanted to give it a necklace anyway, that's your business.

Both gatso and Truvelo are yellow (well they are around my way).
But the Truvelo is a smaller unit with a purple lense that looks AT you.

Note how the low-life scum have hidden it behind a road sign, f**kers

That actually looks like the one at the end of the M11 southbound where it joins the North Circular, which IIRC is the most prolific camera in the country.
