Issuing Officer Or Agency Lacked Jurisdiction

A parking citation issued by an officer or agency acting outside its territorial jurisdiction (for example a city beyond its limits, or a campus/transit officer off their property) is void for want of authority.

Legal basis

A.R.S. Title 28 enforcement authority is territorial; an out-of-jurisdiction citation is unenforceable.
