DC Speed Cameras

I passed one of DC's mini van speed traps yesterday morning.  By the time I passed it, I was under 10mph over.  Coming up on it, I was over 10mph over.  Can they detect you coming up or just after you pass?  I can see the camera on the dash.  The rear window is tinted, so I couldn't see a camera there.

Let us know in a week or two. ;)

They can detect you coming, but without a plate on the front of your bike,
the image is up to them to try and interpret.  My bet is that you could only
get caught 'going' but not coming.  Too much work for them.

The cameras can only detect you after you pass them. Period. The system does
not work until you are in front of it.

The lesson: Slow down BEFORE your pass the camera.
