Can speed cameras, or police officers hide with a speed camera?
The answer is, yes. Speed cameras, or police staff have the legal/moral right to catch speeding drivers, whether there are signs, or not. It also doesn't matter whether they hide, for example, if a police officer wants to hide in a bush with a speed camera, then this would be fine.
Am I allowed a ten-percent leeway by law? No, speeding by any amount/percentage is still a crime, and going one mile over the legal speed limit can, and should have you dealt with (fined, and points added to your license).
However, some #police forces have a two/three mile per hour tolerance guideline, this is not law, and is only advice. Forces can still fine you for driving by any percentage over the posted speed limit.
According to https://www.telegraph.co.uk/cars/ "If you get caught driving at 31mph, to 40mph in a 30mph zone, you'll probably get a fine of 50% of your weekly income. You'll also probably get three points on your licence."
