TIL that when traffic cameras were first set up in California, a man got a speeding ticket in the mail that included his photo as proof of guilt. Mad that he was fined by a camera, the man took a picture of money and mailed it off. Weeks later he was mailed another photo... this time of handcuffs.

After 90-120 days, tickets are no longer valid (due process)

What are you talking about? Even if that is true, you aren't being denied due process... You were given notification of a violation in the form of the red light ticket, and (I assume in Arizona) they have a court date at which you are allowed to appear. If the person doesn't WANT to do either, then they have a right to do so... it doesn't deny a person due process. That's the exact opposite of due process.

I'm pretty sure you're throwing around legal terms and hope they stick.

Those are the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure for Arrest Warrants and Summons on a Complaint.

This doesn't mean that they can't do it. Your argument is that

You must be served in-person for it to be a valid summons.

It would still give them the option to do so if you do not pay a photo enforcement ticket. Yes, it is correct that it may cost the state money, and it is possible that they won't do anything about it. However, you shouldn't be spreading misinformation.

Literally, these are just some of the false statements that you've said in this topic alone...

I know for fact in Arizona that all camera tickets can be safely ignored

This just isn't true. Just because they aren't enforced, doesn't mean they can't be.

Camera tickets explicitly require you to waive your right to be served by a clerk of the court.

If you wish to pay the fine, then you waive your right. That's the point of pleading nolo contendere. If you want to fight the ticket, then you don't waive any rights.

They can't just stick it in your box because there's no proof you received said service-by-mail without a signature.

Obviously they can do that.

That whole due process thing and all.

Again, due process refers to the idea that you have the right to appear in court. No one is denying you the right to appear in court. The point of the ticket is to give you the option to not appear in court and just pay the fine.

Again, I'm not your lawyer.
