They are very common in Australia. It takes a photo of your license plate, then another 10km (or whatever) down the freeway. If the two photos are less than x seconds apart, you get a speeding ticket.

I was going to say something similar. However, the ones I have seen are only applied to large trucks. So far, at least, cars can speed through with impunity.

The Melbourne->Geelong road (Australia's busiest, and deadliest) has many, and they will ding regular cars.

They also have these in Norway. The 2nd camera has a light on it and will blink yellow if you should expect a ticket in the mail.
