If you get the chance, ask them if they were recording your true speed or actual speed  :signLOL:

I think evidence can only be obtained by a police officer.
So you could argue that. Don't quote me on it do a bit of research to be 100%

I depends on how they have been trained and what powers their employer has given them . Many speed vans are run by support staff who just park the thing up and really have no further involvement in the matter . PCSO's have been trained to use a speed gun in our area but i cannot remember them issuing tickets , just warning notices .

Chances are, if they didn't pull you, you'll get a "naughty boy" letter through the post telling you how your reckless speeding will kill all small children who venture out beyond the safety of their front doors. My friend had one of those letters.

No photo = little chance of a charge against you as you can easily argue it. As mentioned, get hold of the book about all the grey areas of the law by the ex copper.

Moving over to Flickr, sorry for the broken picture links!

Every time you get stopped for speeding by a Police car with a calibrated speedo there is no photo and they prosecute you .
 
In this situation i would suggest that no ticket will be forthcoming due to PCSO's !

As far as I understood; so long as the plod have made reasobable effort to post within 14 days (only proof being that the date of postage is within 14 days) it stands?  It may take that bit longer to actually arrive but only normal in unusual circumstances like peak mail, mail strike etc.

Looks like you have been lucky :)
