speed camera citation,, out of state driver in a rental. opinions?

[evlgt2]

Hey Guys, So I received a notice in the mail that this processing company, ATS Processing Services, (which also seems to operate the actual cameras themselves) has charged me a $30 processing fee for a citation that I have not received. Apparently they have some deal with law enforcement and rental companies to get the ticket issued to the person who's name the rental is under. I called ATS and they said the ticket is still being processed. (The alleged incident took place 2 months ago, Oct 24) So, aside from the scary big-brother bs aspect of this while thing, what is the deal? I never saw a camera or a flash, and I still have not received a citation. If and (I assume) when I receive this citation, can I fight it from out of state? Presumably there has to be some picture of me driving the car for them to actually cite me, correct? Thanks for any input. I don't envy you guys having to deal with this on a daily basis...

yeah I see those effin cameras everywhere now in Arizona. I'd hear it's cheaper by paying the ticket and not dealing with all that hassle but I don't know... Maybe you could fight it. GL

Why fight it...It wont go against your license . Its not worth the time. If you read your rental agreement most of them state that any Tickets/citations obtained during your rental period is the responsability of the renter, regardless who is driving. Just pay it..not worth the hassle. my 2 cents

you dont have to pay any of your camera tickets in AZ

This week, there were 3600 people that had to go to court at the same time for photo tickets.
