Here's what my lawyer girlfriend had to say on the issue:
"Based on my research, the AZ ticket was completely unconstitutional because you have the right to face your accuser (clearly not a camera). Based on AZ law, I think the state is required to personally serve you - even for a traffic violation. So, if you ignore the ticket, they can't do anything unless they get a process server to come find you. Also, they are required to identify the driver of the vehicle. How do they know you were driving? I don't think that a mailed ticket will have any consequence at all unless they serve you in person. Most people don't know that. By signing the ticket and sending it in you are waiving personal service."
