Basically a little confused about how it works,
i went past a police officer today with a speed camera out and obviously checking my speed. if i had of been speeding would they pull you over there and then?
as i dont think they can send you the points through the post like permanent cameras do?
any help would be good! thanks.

well they can't exactly point you over there and then if yourdoing 80mph or whatever.
they usually have a police car waiting up the road who will go after you and pull you over.

And they are legally able to hide in horse boxes and transits etc. Only the traffic cops have to be in the spectrums or mobiles.

If you had been speeding he would have killed you there and then, then your family, then your friends, then anyone who'd ever met you or done business with you. Oh and he'd have burnt your car and driver's licence at the roadside.
Close shave indeed I reckon sir.

For 4 miles an hour?! 
Should have said you'd run out of sperm after a night with his Mother.
He'd have laughed and sent you on your way no doubt.

depends on the equipment they were using they can using a tagging system where your details are recorded to the device (picture and speed) notices of intended prosecution must be issued within 14 days
