I wonder if it’s possible to find out how often speed cameras and red light cameras are used to solve other crimes? A burglar, fleeing a home in PV is caught on the Lincoln speed camera and coordinates with the time on the victim’s phone isn’t camera or alarm system- that kind of thing. I would hope that police departments are using the cameras to gather other information- not just as fine collecting speed traps. Do you know if there is any data on that?
I hated the cameras. I actually received a ticket for a right hand turn! Nonetheless the red light running in Tucson is out of control, and that's because there is no enforcement. I suggest LE concentrate on the worst intersections for a few days, and then switch to another hot spot. The element of surprise might keep those red light runners thinking twice.
They will absolutely send a process serves most times, even if you live in glendale or whatever far place away from PV or Scottsdale. Process server companies are a dime a dozen in all regions of the valley. Its not somebody that works for PV or Scottsdale that drives around serving people.
Pro tip: make sure the vehicle you committed the violation with is not on your property or parked in front of your home, especially if its a Scottsdale ticket. Scottsdale has a law where if the process server fails to serve you but has strong reason to believe that you live at the property (such as the violating vehicle in the driveway or in front of your home) they can get the judge to sign off to leave the serving papers taped to your door and that would be considered served.
There’s talk of bringing back cameras to catch the red light runners in Tucson. Red light running is out of control and there will never be enough cops with the time to catch the idiots. We shall see... I was glad when the cameras were voted out for many of the reasons you mention but what is the answer?
Unless there is some quirk of the rules for service for photo radar tickets, if it is personally served at your home and given to a person of suitable age and discretion, that accomplishes service under the Arizona Rules of Civil Procedure. So, handing it to your spouse, roommate or teenage child is likely proper service.
The idea that the ticket is not valid due to how it has been served (whether by mail or in person) is an odd argument. Step back and note that if you are dealing with this ticket, you did go faster than the speed limit. That's a crime. If no human sees you do it does that make you innocent? No, you're still a speeder. Do you deserve a punishment? Probably so. If I speed and no human sees me, is that ok?

I received a ticket from Paradise Valley this past year, paid the fine and attended a class. It was expensive. I tend to avoid PV now.
