Take the variable speed limit around the M25 near heathrow, or within roadworks, in towns near schools or pedestrian crossings, these are perfect examples of where cameras should be placed.
And why is it if you warn drivers and get them to slow down you're charged with interfering with police business, but if you tackle a robber that the police are chasing, they thank you?

If you didn't speed, you wouldn't get caught and you wouldn't generate revenue for the Treasury. Simple! Of course if you know better than highway planners and the police of what an appropriate, rather than actual, speed limit should be then it's not so simple
I'm not saying I agree with all speed limits but I have no sympathy at all for anyone who gets caught speeding and then whines about it, unless the evidence is unreliable or, on occasion, where limits are inadequately signed. It's interesting to note that all the bluster is about cameras (which can catch you) not about the limits themselves.
