The Oxfordshire police force here in the UK have introduced speed cameras. The way they work is to use radar to check oncoming cars speeds, and if its over the limit the camera takes a picture of the cars number plate. I guess a human back at police HQ has to do the bit about reading the plate, and then a fixed fine is sent through
There's a cure for this. Get neon license plate lights instead. This will work at night at least. Have you ever seen a car with them pass you by? It makes the license plate illuminated, but almost impossible to see! (Although, they might resort to IR cameras to take your picture as well!)
