This happens here in the United States.  In Campbell, California
the police have a small van which they set up on major streets.
If the radar thinks you're speeding, it photographs you and mails
you a ticket.

There is a similar system in Paris, if I remember correctly.

Apparently this caused a bit of embarrassment for some English
philanderer a while back.  When the ticket came in the mail complete
with a photo of the license plate and occupants, his wife wanted
on knowing who the woman in the passenger seat was.

Then again, this could be urban legend.
