We have those here in Phoenix as well -- the cameras are either mounted on the top of the stop lights (if they are looking for red light violations -- we're like the worst in the country for accidents from running red lights) or they are on the electric/phone poles where they put the radar vans for speed zones --
If a ticket is mailed it's to the registrant of the license plate -- and if the person driving wasn't the car owner then both the car owner and the driver have to go to the court date in order to get it switched (we've had it happen to a couple people in our office) which is a pain in the ass.
However -- the big thing when I moved out here last year was the actual enforceability of the tickets themselves -- the issue being that the courts couldn't prove they were being received (why they didn't send them registered mail I don't know) and therefore they couldn't warrant you for not paying. One of the towns around here had to hire like 200 people to go hand serve their tickets since they also have an expiration on them and if they haven't been taken care of the court has to assume they were never received.
Not saying thats true in your case by any means, more like an example of ineptitude in government...
