I'm on the Lamb!

[Bubba1]

So it looks like a Minor in possesion of Alcohol ticket from 2001 is going to cost me $994 or a court date.

I'm 28, I think I will be the oldest person to appear in court for a MIP ticket ever.

sigh.

Are you planning to fight it in court?

[Kelbizzle]

Just never go back to the state again. I don't think they'd extradite you for that. Just when you visit back stay outta trouble.

[bobotech]

Why didn't you take care of the ticket back when you were a kid?

[sorrowfulkiller]

go to court and ask the judge, " are you really going to fine me for something nine years ago that should've been brought up when it happened?"

my guess is that it'd get thrown out anyways

Walk into court with a 6-pack

I thought that 7 years to the day is supposed to be the limit of legal action for those types of "crime".

That's possible, but it is possible that he has had a warrant for much longer then he realizes. They could have just recently figured out where to send the notification.

Once a warrant is issued they have much longer.

So I got a letter today in the mail stating that I have a warrant out for my arrest from the City of Clinton, Utah. Here's the kicker, it says the warrant was issued in 2002!

I have 40 days to turn myself in

I didn't live in Utah in 2001-2008 but I did in 97-2000 and in 08/09.

Sucks to be me.

So let me get this straight...

...are you saying that Utah is a state?

[Red coupe]

I thought that 7 years to the day is supposed to be the limit of legal action for those types of "crime".

Statue of limitation applies to how long they have to catch you, not how long they have to enforce their verdict, IIRC

So like, if he had never gotten a citation, and they found proof of him drinking 9 years ago they could not do anything if the limit is 7 years... but they didn't wait this whole time before citing him for the crime, the warrant is for him never responding to this citation... I doubt there is a time limit on that.

Not sure that anyone remembers or cares but, the other "I got a ticket" thread reminded me to update this.

I did go to court, the judge was not a very happy person. He asked me why I didn't do the things I was sentenced to(pay $1100 fine and attend a 6 week rehab course). I replied that I couldn't remember because it was so long ago. He agreed that ten years ago might be a little hard to remember.

He cut the fine down to $600 and nixed the rehab course. I guess I'm glad it all taken care of. Just remember kiddies that you can't escape your past, especially when the city of Clinton, Utah has a nice new court house that needs to be paid for.

I'll go pee in their flowerbeds for you.
