Every state is different. sometimes it takes time to make it into the computer. your right thoe 4 years seems like a long time.
I think until you get a warrant issued. Your license should be fine. Right now it's only the credit company bothering you. you'll probably just get calls at all hours of the night like I do. Asking when your gonna pay up.

If you have any warrants for any unpaid tickets. Driving related or non-driving related. They automatically suspend your license. When I went to court I had to sign a monthly agreement to pay a certain amount each month to get it re-instated.
hmmm. well thats stupid.

Even then they need to sign out a warrant first and send you a letter thorough the mail from the court. Not a collection agency. If they do put out a warrant for your arrest. Nothing will happen until you get stopped by police on a traffic ticket or questioning.
When they stop you and warrant check you it will come up that you have a warrant and if it's under 1500$ they have the option to let you go with a warning to go to court and pay up.
That's not always true, and it's definitely not true in my state. They will issue a bench warrant, which takes about 10 minutes or less for the judge. Then they don't have to send you a letter. And they don't always wait around for contact with the law, sometimes they come for you. Once they get you they will book you into jail and you'll have to bail out. Bail will be what your fine is.
That's under some circumstances. FTA and failure to pay your fine can result in this sort of thing. I've lived in states that are much as you describe most of the time, but some states can be real dicks about things.

It also depends on the size of the city. If you live in a rural area they are much more strict than if you live in an urban area.

like fred said, the later half of this thread is just bullshit.
There is a difference between policy and the law.
You can be arrested for doing 66 in a 65 under the US constitution, provided that's a criminal offense in your state, which it almost certainly is.
You can likwise be arrested for failing to pay a fine.
Don't extrapolate what happened to you or that guy you know with what the law requires throughout the world.

I would like to add that in my area court costs, public defender fees, court imposed fines are not enforced.
I have a hefty court cost/PD fee/extradition fee from when I spent almost 2 years on trial in 2002-2003, I have not paid anything and nothing has been done about them. There is no way I could pay it off.
The extradition fee is 4,600 alone.

The thesis that I want to advance today is that the drug war and the laws that prohibit the private consumption of certain drugs are unconstitutional. Prohibition laws, themselves, violate every tenet of limited government that is embodied in our Constitution.

It's been 3 years since I got released on that term.
Or you mean 4 years from now?
There's no possible way I could pay that off.
I'd have to find my sentencing papers to calculate it all I know it was around 60,000 total. There's not a way in hell I could pay that.
