Also: driving at the speed limitto begin with
Also: why do they signpost them?
I thought the idea was to catch criminals not let them know when they'll get caught.

Pointless not letting a criminal know when they've been caughtI'd've thunk

Well, you know what I meanTelling a criminal when they have to slow down
If you have to slow down in the first place then you're already breaking the law.

However, if you don't warn them and they see the speed camera at the last minute,slam on the breaks and get rear-ended, it can end in serious injury to the non-guilty party behind.

I think they have to legally tell youwhen cameras are being used on a stretch of road and likewise, they have to paint them to be highly visible when any of the fine is kept by the police force. The point being they are intended as a road safety measure (make people slow down) rather than a sneaky money gathering device.
But whatever the reason for them, driving at or under the speed limit (even a little over probably) means no fines. It is up to the individual if they obey the speed limit or not, but if you want to break it there is no point being a big baby and crying about the fine when you get caught.
I say this as someone who has been caught speeding, although not by a camera.

If you see the giant signs and bright yellow cameras, you slow down, which is what they're intended for.If you don't see anything, you carry on speeding.
