Default New "camo" speed camera mobile vans

Spotted today on my way back from work.

Green camo paint all over, lower half of the back had red/yellow reflective stripes and tinted back windows.
It was parked on a grassy verge under the trees along the road.

Coming up to it (if you can spot it), you'd think it's some kind of works van for a tree surgeon or something like that.

Until you pass it that it, and a big camera sticker shows up on the side of the van

This was in a 40 where higher speeds can easily be achieved.

So much for making cameras obvious, this was definitely covert !!!

I wish I could have taken a picture.

Didnt think they were allowed to do that. Thought they had to be exremely visible. If i saw a camo one i'd be tempted to drive into it and then tell em I couldnt see it

In that case I don't agree with that at all. Theyre not being used as a deterrent or to make roads safer if theyre hidden theyre just for catching people and making money. Cooontsss!
