Q: If a process server places legal documents on your car windshield is that considered a legal service?
Getting ready to drive and he set in on the windshield and it blew off. He did not place it under the wiper.
I did not know it was a process server.
The individual was chasing after my vehicle hours prior, and upon returning to the same location later, he appeared again. When he approached my vehicle, it made me nervous, and I started to slowly drive. That's when he threw the paper on the windshield.
The judge may be upset, but I think it's reasonable since he was chasing after my vehicle, which I read they are not supposed to do and it is considered harassment.
A: Who will do the considering, after hearing & seeing the evidence? Likely would be a judge. If the person being served could reasonably understand that they were being personally delivered papers, a judge would likely view that as effective personal service (even if the person never looked at the papers).

A: It seems you were trying to avoid service. This will not go over well with the judge.
