Gatso can only photo as you pass it, but tuvalus (sp) do it on the way in. As for the other side of the road, I'm not so sure about.

Q, Can a gatso camera take a forward facing photo of a driver and is that evidence be admissible in court? I was flashed twice the other day as I approached a gatso.
A, As long as it is a Type 24 Gatso then no. The gatso is not approved for forward facing pictures and more often than not will not get you in the pictures well enough anyway. Do not mistake a TruVelo Forward facing camera for a Gatso, TruVelo cameras do take forward facing pictures.
Using Doppler radar IIRC and have a "white" light flash.
but tuvalus (sp) do it on the way
(facing them) Using induction loops/sensors set into the road, these have and infra red flash with IR sensitive film.
Also SPECS can work both ways,
