Default Is there a certain time that speed camera vans can work???

Just wondering tonight(cant think why )

Can the police use the mobile camera vans 24 hours a day or do they have to be within a set time ie 8am-8pm????????????????????

The problem with speed cameras is that they are supposed to be used to corroborate plod's opinion that the vehicle in question is speeding. But if the plod can't see a vehicle because it is dark then theoretically he should not use the speed gun. Obviously if a road is well lit then whether there is a speed camera about is dictated by the local care in the community project because most patients have to back inside by 7.30pm.
