At least in Europe, the front tag is for the speed camera / intersection camera. Isn't Laser also aimed at the front plate as it "target" ? (not sure on that one).

I was only about 10 MPH over the speed limit the other day with when I passed a mobile camera unit, tagging in both directions with a single camera. The Polizei did not swing the camera around to me in time. Looking in the rearview mirror, his partner made the motion of hitting him in the back head after I passed. OT, but kind of comical.
