I have been having a discussion about motoring infringement's
I have said that if you are caught by a police vehicle the officer would pull you over and issue a ticket
The other's argument is that the infringement would be recorded on camera and dealt with the same as any other cctv / speed camera etc
Who is right
None of us are worried about this scenario dont know how the discussion started
thanks

It depends on so many variable factors.

The police officer could be on his or her way to work in his/her own private car, He could take a note
of your registration number, then later that same day when he was in a marked official police vehicle he may see you go past.

He then may stop you, and ask you questions about the earlier incident.
He could then give you a written NIP

That is just one possible scenario amongst thousands of other possibilities.

For most offences, if the police officer cannot or does not stop you at the time, he will have to send a notice to the registered keeper of the vehicle asking him to nominate the driver, who will then be the subject of prosecution or its alternatives. All of this is subject to rules and procedures laid down in various acts of parliament.

Notice that there is no need for anything to be recorded on camera.

Both arguments are correct. You can be stopped and reported at the time. Or the officer can note the time, date and offence location plus the vehicle details and come round to your house and report you there. Or the infringement is recorded on camera and he tracks you down and reports you using the camera as evidence if required. As also stated, if he is off duty and sees an offence, he can when on duty call and see you and report you. Ideally he would need some extra evidence to ensure a conviction.

On duty or off duty they could send a nip for an offence they saw you commit.

No need to visit you.

The Police Officer may first of all ask you some questions.

At this time of year the police have Vehicle Check Points and ask drivers whether they have been drinking?

HI all what would you think if you was driving about 75 or 78 and police in volvo car was behind but didnt flash lights just stayed behind and if driver moved to other lane and slowed down but they still didnt stop you just stayed behind for a few mins, and moved into other lane due to slip road merging and then moved back doing 70 then police went past,
