Arizona Photo Enforcement Ticket Not Valid Until Served
People ask us all the time: What can I do about that nasty photo radar ticket I got in the mail?
The answer: Nothing.
Literally. Chuck it in the trash.
It's perfectly ethical -- just look at the ticket's fine print. You see, for photo enforcement citations to be valid, the state Supreme Court rules say it has to be properly served to you. And the U.S. Mail won't cut it. So, the ticket asks you to sign a waiver of your right to proper service and mail it back to the authorities.

Grand Jury Indicts Man Shot Twice By Process Server
A Putnam County grand jury has indicted a man who was shot twice last year in his Putnam Valley driveway by a process server.
The grand jury, however, did not indict the process server, a former Kent town police officer and ex-Kent councilman.
The grand jury returned a four-count indictment against shooting victim Douglas Greenwich, 53, but did not indict Dennis Illuminate, 67.
