The local population pays for it by having a higher council tax (in the old days they'd say they'd put a penny on the rate.) The cameras are self funding if part of a partnership. Possibly so.

We recorded it but were told by the trainers that it was not an infringement until 48 hours had gone by. In other words, if we saw it again...

In article , Rob Graham says... I was told that you have 48 hours from when the damage occurs to get it fixed. By whom?
