Here's a novel approach: throw the ticket away and ignore it.

Unless they sent it certified or it was issued to you by an officer of the court, they have no way to prove you received it.

I have received a red light ticket in the mail before and threw the thing away. I have a clear record and nothing has ever came from it...

While I was in court fighting another ticket, there was a guy with the same issue. Turns out there are video cameras in the units and they are reviewed before the ticket goes out, this way pretty much ensuring a conviction. Probably best to pay the fine and ask for traffic school.  :P

I don't know how it is in Arizona, but in Cali, when it comes time to renew your license of your registration, these issues might come up.

in MD the ticket is issued to the cars owner since they can't see who's driving and it is a monetary fine only ($75.00) no points or any indication on your driving record so it's not worth a huge fight or taking a chance of future problems if you don't pay it.

About a month ago, I was driving in L.A. and while taking a right hand turn at a red light, I saw flashes from the intersection camera.  [bang]  The light either had just turned red, or turned red a nanosecond after i entered the intersection.  I never did come to a complete stop. 

Been checking my mail everyday, and no ticket.... yet [coffee]
