<p>Pro tip for drivers in Arizona:</p><p>Many courts are allowing law enforcement up to the court date printed (or handwritten) on citations to file civil traffic complaints, which can sometimes be a month or more after the violation occurred. <a href="https://www.azleg.gov/viewdocument/?docName=https://www.azleg.gov/ars/28/01593.htm" rel="nofollow">ARS 28-1593(B)</a> explicitly allows law enforcement only 10 days from the violation date to file.</p><p>If you were cited for a civil traffic violation, don't assume it's actually being filed on time. Check with your court of jurisdiction (where the ticket is supposed to be filed, found either at the top or the bottom of the ticket) 10 court days (excluding weekends and holidays) after the violation to see if the ticket was filed. If not, file a motion for dismissal due to untimely filing.</p><p>This is particularly relevant in Pima and Maricopa Counties, but there are some courts in outlying counties also quietly allowing law enforcement to skirt the law.</p><p>You didn't learn this from me 🤫</p><p><a href="/tags/usa/" rel="tag">#USA</a> <a href="/tags/arizona/" rel="tag">#Arizona</a> <a href="/tags/driving/" rel="tag">#Driving</a> <a href="/tags/law/" rel="tag">#Law</a> <a href="/tags/trafficlaw/" rel="tag">#TrafficLaw</a> <a href="/tags/protip/" rel="tag">#ProTip</a></p>
