What if you really didn't get it in the mail? Then what would they do?

I use this same defense with jury duty notices...works every time. They can't prove you received it and they can't prove that the USPS (running a deficit budget and not withstanding their poor efficiency) delivered it.
However, with car registrations it's a whole different matter. They now have a mechanism (an electronic "lien" system) to attach the citation to an actual vehicle registration.
I still think these things are unconstitutional and challengable in a court of law. It's the time and hassle to go through all of that which most don't have the stomach for. Hence, why cities buy the cams.
I'm paying real close attention to this whole AZ measure to see if/when it gets passed to kill these things for good.
