ASU Parking Ticket Not a Student

What is the name of your state? AZ

I work for a construction company in AZ. My boss, S, has a few vehicles that are driven by his employees. One of our jobs is located in Tempe near the Arizona State University campus. One of his employees had been parking in a campus parking lot and receiving citations. The employee that we think was parking there no longer works for the company. ASU just started sending bills to Sam, the owner of the vehicle, that are inflated for nonpayment.

My questions are:

1. Since it was what I believe to be private property (please correct me if I am wrong) and this is a private organization issuing a ticket is he really liable for it wouldn't the proper course of action have been to tow the vehicle?

2. They did not send the bill to him until after the 90 days past due had kicked in. If he is required to pay, is there any legal way to drop the past due fees, as he was not contacted until after they were past due?

3. What corse of action will they take if he does not pay? He said when he went to NAU they would simply withhold your diploma. In this case there is no affiliation with ASU.

4. Could he be arrested for unpaid parking tickets if pulled over for another reason?

Thank you in advance for your help.

"Sam" should call the issuing agency (or whatever/whomever) that is listed on the notices. Ask the questions of THEM.

This is not private property; it is government property.

But I would like to know who is giving you the tickets?

By the way, the best answer is pay the tickets. You were trespassing.

It's state property.

The ticket itself is the bill.

It's quite possible that the vehicle license renewal will be blocked. It's also possible the car could be towed/booted if found parked elsewhere.

It is not private property, and the campus police department is recognized as a true police department by the government.

He did call them and the person he spoke with was just a student working in the parking offices, and did not have much to offer in the way of information. As in past experiences the people trying to collect the money will not let you know of any ways to not pay it.

Knowing that ASU is recognized as a government agency changes things a bit. I know that the campus police are not the ones writing the tickets; the people that write the tickets are "parking attendants" and I believe separate entity from the actual campus police.

Knowing this, the tickets will have to be paid, but I am still unclear about the past due notices. Is putting a slip of paper on a vehicle a legal means of delivery for a bill? How do they know it didn't blow away? The paperwork was not sent to the residence where the vehicle was registered to until after there were past due fees. What does the law say about the delivery of bills. I just don't understand how they can tack on fees when they are not 100 percent sure that the person knows they even have to pay the original ticket.

No, but this is not a bill...
