automated speed cameras, you just receive a picture and a fine with the post. Not much to do...

I just read an article about the Arizona speed camera system.

Seems with those mailed notices, you have not legally been served with the violation - as they have no way to prove you received the notice.

Remember how the cop says "sign here" whenever you get ticketed? And they say it is not an admission of guilt, just an admission you have received the ticket?

Well, in Arizona, unless you are personally served within 90 days of the photo camera violation, the notice expires.

So MANY Arizonians just ignore the mailed notices and wait out the 90 days. With all government budget strained, there is no money to have process servers driving all over towns hand delivering speeding notices, so that photo camera 'violation' just goes away as long as you ignore it.

Anyone know how California or other states handle these?
