If this guy is part of an authorised Community Speedwatch, he will be authorised to monitor and record vehicle speed infringements by and on behalf of the local Heddlu (Police).

There are strict guidelines in place that have to be observed by the Speedwatch volunteers. For example, there should be a prominent high viz sign on display indicating that Speedwatch is in operation. This is no more a traffic distraction than an any other road sign.

He should not be authorised to approach a member of the public. However, if a member of the public were to become abusive then that could be reported to the authorising Heddlu.

No prosecution can take place based on Speedwatch observations alone.
