Fighting Photo Radar Tickets

As photo radar becomes more popular, violators are coming up with ways to beat it. If you get caught speeding or running a red light by photo radar, the evidence against you, a photo or videotape of the violation, is pretty apparent. But there is at least one legal strategy available.

Arizona law requires that you get your traffic citation from a police officer or a process server. Since the tickets mailed to violators don't meet that legal standard, you have the option of tossing the citation in the garbage.

If you do that, however, police officers or the company that runs the cameras can then send a cop or a process server to deliver the summons. In Scottsdale, AZ it adds $26 to your fine.

Here's the trick: The city has only 120 days to serve you, so if you can dodge the process server for about four months, the ticket is dismissed.

You can also make it harder for authorities to find you by listing a post-office box as your address on your car's registration. That will require police or the company to do a little extra work to hunt down your address.
