Default speed camera vans

Do all speed camera vans have to have an open window/hatch to aim the gun through.
I was just leaving the village on my bike going to warp factor 2 with just 50yards to go to national limit when as an oncomming lorry passed me the van became clear. Too late to significantly slow down although the breaklights lit up like afterburners.
I decided to go back and offer my congrats on a snidey place to hide, behind a bush when I noticed the van had no appature for the camera to aim through. Am I lucky or can they photo you through blackened glass
by the way this is what we have to face in North Wales

Absoloutly gutted for you mate. they do the white van with a black rear window trick near us and yes they can get you.

What was really disturbing is last week i was coming through warrington and there was a car with the bonnet up and hazards on as if broken down. BUT when you get passed it they had a speed camera on a tripod shooting through a hole in the bonnet.

The other day going to work i noticed a white van that looked like it had broked down on the side of the road - the rear windowns where metal coverd - but the camera was in the drivers side window pointing to the cars on the other side of the road

I live in Penyffordd but the horseboxes are out anywhere in N.Wales.
Local radio had the police on a while back when they said they would be out every weekend till October to ensure bikers safety.
The other weekend my lad and I rode to the horshoe pass and were amazed to see a policecar with gun in somebodies driveway.

This is what annoys me about the police not just in northwales, i wouldn't mind if i got pulled for doing wrong. It's the fact that they are so underhand know and you don't get notified of the offence upto 2 weeks later
