I just came across the story here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-27952341 it states:
"The widespread use of static and car-mounted cameras to catch drivers who park illegally in England is to be banned, the government has announced.
It says so-called "spy cars" have been used as a "cash cow" by councils, and it wants to end the "plague" of parking fines being sent in the post.
Instead traffic wardens will have to fix penalty notices to windscreens."
Using exactly the same logic, surely speed cameras do exactly the same thing and therefore should be banned on the same grounds? This being so, speed camera operatives should also have to fix their penalty notices to our windscreens. I'd like to see them do it!
