The speed camera hadn't been turned on! Or maybe your bell rx65 wasn't on.

The van cameras use a low frequency K band unfortunately you cant pick them up. Cop cars yes.

Now a days they got those fancy new cameras rigged to vans and they scan traffic for arrest warrants,overdue wof/rego and other stuff, the van doesn't move but the cop in the van tips off motor bike cops to pull them up, a lot cheaper and easier to catch people out, but in my opinion just another step closer to a police state

You have to enable "K" band on your detector to detect the Mobile vans

Gives you stuff all warning even with a Bel STI so blink and it's over

The Radar in Patrol cars still use "KA" Band which they employ mostly instant-on

Think Laser is also employed

Pure fiction.
How does the camera know who's in the car !

drive southbound through manukau right now, they were doing it 15 min ago, and they don't know who is in the car that's why they run the plates details and get the bike cops to pull people up, the camera van doesn't ticket people only the cops pulling them over

Yerrr, no, they announced it quite awhile ago. Cops in Britain have been using them for years.

We don't have facial recognition cameras here, but we do have plate recognition ones, which do a check for vehicle of interest/vehicle licence/wof.Auckland only on trial at this stage I believe.
