then would an unmarked car have one or two men in the car if it was videoing the speeds of cars

I just read your other post
A traffic car (which I assume this would be) could have 1 or 2 officers in. The speed detection is normally done using VASCAR time / distance equipment. If video equipment were in use the VASCAR may be linked to this. Either way the device acts as corroboration to the officer, so in short you CAN be done for speeding by an officer on his own.

Nope, I can think of at least one in my local area which is on a T plate.

If the cop car has 1 officer in and no camera, VASCAR etc then it would be very hard for them to prove you were speeding - a good lawyer would get you off no problem!
