A new poll. Speed Cameras

[VCAMILO]

I have asked cops here in Phoenix and they told me not to pay them. From what the cops said; it is not legal for a camera to serve you a ticket. They can mail you the ticket but you are a fool if you send the money in. In order for it to be a valid ticket a cop has to serve you. Meaning they have to find you at home or at work and hand you the ticket. Its the same deal when a plane catches you speeding on the highway. If you choose to take it to court both the cop that pulled you over and the cop that was in the plane have to appear in court.
My friend has gotten four red light tickets (stupid same intersection) in Scottsdale and she has not payed them in the last few years. Nothing has come over the mail and nothing has been done about it by the city. I believe they only have a year to serve you if you choose not to pay for it over the mail. So if i ever get one; IM NOT PAYING FOR IT. He also told me that in Scottsdale they only have about 3 cops driving to peoples house to re-issue the ticket. guess what! most of the time the person is at work and not home. :bwgr:

Good luck with that. Imagine the 'nice' suprise when you find out that your license has been suspended for unpaid moving violations. Pleading ignorance will not work & the fines and interest have piled up. The icing on the cake will be that your insurance company found out your license was suspended and also suspended your insurance so now you have to pay uninsured motorist fees.

(start banjo pikin') If it weren't for bad luck ... I'd have no luck at all. (end banjo pikin')

The above happened to someone I knew. I'm not sure how much of it he was able to get out of.
