Handheld speedguns or moving (i.e. while on the move) speedcameras aren't even approved in Belgium based on accuracy issues with them.
A lot of the fixed radar cameras were found to be suffering from secondary reflections causing erronous speed recordings and have had to be updated - despite being previously approved at the location.
If the reading is really silly, like 400mph (yes, it happened !) , the errors are obvious.
If the resulting error wasn't so silly, people were prosecuted.
