Read this today from Petrol Prices .com. Interesting theory.

4. You can sue the police for writing to you about speeding
If you have one of those people in your area who decides to invest in a speed camera, and starts snapping photos or footage with it, don’t immediately panic if they record you. If you receive a letter from the police based on evidence from that camera, you can actually sue the police for using an untrained camera operator. Not everyone can be a speed camera operator – only those from designated authorities like the police or Highways England can legally fulfil the role.
Wonder if it would work in practice.

Surely it's the same a just a warning? Like if kids are messing about on the street and someone calls police. They'll say to the kids "this guy thinks you're up to no good, can you just make sure you're not". You can't then sue the police for looking at potential evidence?

They're underfunded enough without having to mess around with legal fees from people who just think suing and compensation is the answer to everything :/

Compensation could be the answer to my next holiday. Laughing
