I sure hope I get to visit AZ again, it is a beautiful state.

I didn't "admit" I was speeding. I didn't see a sign about speed cameras. I had no idea there were speed cameras. I don't live there. The picture shows the car on my left passing me. Maybe it was speeding. I don't know. Living out of state makes it hard to contest

If a law enforcement officer wrote a ticket, it would be valid, done deal, and paid. My understanding of Arizona case law (and I am certainly not claiming to be a lawyer, so anyone else who reads this should verify for yourself please) is that an automated complaint needs to be served in order to be a valid ticket. The forms I got in the mail ask me to waive my rights of service. Ordinarily the officer writing the ticket by definition serves it.

If it is a valid ticket, I will pay it. If not, I will try not to. I do indeed sometimes exceed the speed limit, and I don't write myself a fine every time I do
