By 3 things do you mean the person with the speed gun and

No - 3 things about the vehicle

Action = a letter?

Letter first and 2nd times. A knock on the door the third
time.

But still no conviction?

Nope. The police can do exactly and precisely nothing on the
basis of you being stitched up by dennis and his nosey,
interfering, po-faced tiresome little friends.

It sort of makes you wonder why they bother to stand out in the
cold and rain.

They get to dress up in a uniform and feel important?

Our local police often do similar things with school kids using the
speed gun.

And I would love to know who puts the big sign up at Conisbrough on
the A630 saying "Speed trap in 2 miles" everytime there is a
scamera van parked up 2 miles away. They are not parked up helping
a village from speeding traffic, they are parked up waiting to
catch out drivers where the road changes from 60 to 40 mph

Improves the "crime" clear up rate a treat, not to mention the revenue
it generates...

Not with a big hand written sign 2 miles down the road:-)
