Does anyone know the statute of limitaiton on tickets?

I got a ticket 8 years ago for speeding in Cochise County, AZ and paid the fine by mail a month later. 6 months later I get a notice from the court stating a warrant for my arrest was issued in conjunction with the ticket.

They only asked for X number of dollars which was sent, but evidently proof of insurance was also required, since I did not have my id card at the time of the stop.

I worked for a company that was self insured in CA and was a resident of CA, and was driving one of their vehicles. We promptly sent proof of self insurance and financial responsibility to the court, but NO WAY. They would not accept anything like that.

For eight long years the court has treatened me. Made me the worst criminal in AZ, put the fine on my credit report twice, and now it looks like they are doing it again.

What the hell? Warrant for my arrest? Criminal prosecution?

It really makes you wonder how the court system can let criminals walk the street after killing their wives but come after me with a vengence for 8 years about an insurance id card. In CA, your record clears in 3 years, and even warrants disappear after 5 years. This I know for sure, but AZ?

Any attorneys in AZ? I think Tom will have to drive my Z06 through AZ coming back from the Museum.

Sick to death,

Jim Hall
