Is there any statues of limitations on traffic tickets in Missouri? I got a letter about unpaid tickets 10 years ago.

There are not enough details in your question to answer it accurately. You need to consult with a local attorney to review the specifics of your case. While a statute of limitations offense may be available, it does not seem likely. It sounds more like the charges were initiated within the statute of limitations period and at some point a warrant was issued when you failed to appear in court. Addtitionally, if you moved away, this may "toll" the limitations period. A better question might be whether after all this time the prosecution can prove its case against you. For example, is the police officer still available to testify? If so, can he remember the incident? Can he still recognize you as the driver? Again, you should definitely consult with a local attorney to review the specifics of your case and potential defenses.

An attorney familiar with the policies and procedures of the court will know the likelihood of negotiating such a resolution given the circumstances of your case. Check with a lawyer in your locale to discuss more of the details. Good luck to you. God bless. NOTE: This answer is made available by the out-of-state lawyer for educational purposes only.
