You cannot be charged with a crime without evidence, however when it comes to speed cameras the police do not have to provide the evidence.
Also, you shouldnt have been speeding in the first place.
Still I do agree, that its a tad unfair that they said you should have spent your time chasing them when they wanted to prosecute you.

We dont know if he was speeding in the first place though, without evidence!
I was sent a fine for tavelling over London Bridge in a vehicle weighing over 25 Tonnes, the laughable bit is the vehicle registered to me is a 3 wheel tricycle weighing approx 220Kg.
I phoned them and asked for evidence, and they were very unhelpful to say the least. They said I was guilty and would be far better off admitting the offence than trying to get away with it, I sent them a letter asking for photographic evidence of my vehicle crossing the bridge and received a letter of apology.
I thought this was amazing considering the foreigner I spoke to at their department handling fines assured me he had the picture on screen of a vehicle with my registration number, they had even got hold of the vehicle details and had put taxation class as Tricycle on the paparewpork with the fine. I asked the guy what was the maximum permitted weight for a vehicle in that taxation class, and he didn't have a clue. Also they had informed the DVLA because the vehicle was not taxed (declared SORN)! Amazingly the vehicle had not been out of my garage for over 2 years, but as far as they were concerned I was guilty.
