i just passed a group of (i presume) coppers stood on the side of the road and 1 of them had a hand held type camera that i have never seen before.

looked sort of like a mini telescope not the usual gun-shape

any idea what type of camera it was?

last week just around the corner they had the speed van so i dont see why they would need this?

oh and no i wasnt speeding,i was lucky if i got over 20mph due to traffic

Might have been a laser? The French police use a laser that looks just like a pair of binoculars with a side handle.

Or was it hand-held ANPR?

Why didn't you just ask them?
I always stop and have a chat if I see a Cop with a camera.
They generally seem to be quite open about what they are up to and pleased with the distraction.

I have a speed trap on my driveway sometimes and they have a range of new hand held thing like you say, they video you and print your speed on every frame then send you a fine and points(if speeding) in the post as always.

They are always happy to show their new kit off (lol)
