Is it automated, or is there a police officer manning the camera?

As far as I can tell, it just lights up and indicates the speed of oncoming vehicles.

OK... sounds like it's just a warning device.  We have those here - they put them on a
little trailer and move them around.  They flash your speed and say "SLOW DOWN ! "

New Info

These speed meters are equipped with cameras but no citations can be issued using these pictures.

However, the pictures and speed information can be used to identify habitual speeders.
