#2 The Scooter Liberty Precedent means that anyone should fear a DA looking for a scalp -- innocent or guilty alike.

#3 Having had some recent experience with this kind of situation, I can tell you that it is no small task for someone to intentionally avoid ("evade" is the more appropriate word) service of process.

There are remedies available to the serving party; ranging from hiring a private investigator to track down the receiving party to appealing to the court for other means of service (e.g. serving via certified mail, email, or even Facebook has been allowed in some cases).

While evading service of process obviously raises the cost to the serving party-- one might argue that is the intent of the party evading service, in whole or in part-- in many, if not most, instances the receiving party can be compelled by the court to reimburse the serving party for any expenses associated with the service of process; assuming the serving party has done a sufficient job documenting all of their service attempts as well as providing any supporting evidence demonstrating the receiving parties efforts to evade it.

In my own experience as the serving party, one of the defendants in the case was able to evade service of process for almost 3 months. This particular defendant went to great lengths in doing so, even not showing up to work during almost that entire time.

We were well prepared to appeal to the court for other means of service when the private investigator we had hired was finally able to track them down and serve them, despite this defendant denying their own identity at the time they were confronted by the investigator (talk about looking guilty!). You can be sure the judge will find out about that last part.
