I know with the mobile speed cameras they catch you and send you the fixed penalty through the post after going through the days data.
My question is that if a Traffic Police Car catches you on a hand held camera (not the stand alone ones used by camera vans) can they issue a fixed penalty through the post or do they have to catch up / pull you over to issue the ticket at the roadside?
Any officers here that can help?

AFAIK they CAN issue through the post. Ceertainly I've seen instances of a marked car sitting on a motorway bridge with a camera, but no access to the motorway, and people have been done.

Sorry.

this is true, they dont legally need to pull you over and tell you you have been nabbed

I know this is true of vehicles with Recording devices but surely the hand held gun is just a Measuring device?
