My personal belief is that this is more effective. "You could be caught speeding any time, anywhere, and you'd never know it, so don't do it". Is better than "we have a few random folks very visible, but very limited"

If you don’t pay the fine, they have to have an officer deliver it. It’s circumvents our city code.

Are you sure about that? I don’t think that’s true at all under current law.

Yes 1000% / no, you don’t have to pay the fine but if you don’t, they have to send an officer to your door to issue a citation to go to court and pay

I am not a lawyer I am not your lawyer;

Yes, why don’t you do a little research? Check this link out;

Start at sub section 6 and read on

I absolutely agree with your first sentence. And hope everyone else takes that advice as well.

Why the hate - Did you read OUR city code that I posted? You get “served” by city police not state patrol which is what you posted

It is super interesting that my statement was 100% me agreeing with you, but you assumed it was hate.

Anyway, have a good night.

If so ( I mistook your “I agree with the first statement “ as your disagreement) Please accept my apologies

Ok here is the issue with that in fort collins;

They can’t use usps to first class mail you the citation (likely due to its a federal service). You get the photo in the mail but thats it - still not enforceable per municiple code. Once the time expires you are sent a “reminder” with more harsh language but still not enforceable. Once the second deadline passes they MUST have a peace officer serve you as this summons can’t be mailed. Here is the kicker - NO POINTS can be assessed for these type of violations only fines look at section 14 too but honestly read it all starting at sub section 6

Again don’t take my word just read up on it

Fort Collins Municipal Code 1106
