What is the statute of limitations for Tennessee traffic tickets?

Answer 1

A bench warrant is not subjected to, that is, does not have an statute of limitations, that is, a point at which it simply cannot be enforced; it will remain valid and enforceable until the named individual voluntarily surrenders or is taken into custody by authorities. However, when there is a bench warrant outstanding, or out there and it is for someone, and the person goes to another state, it is smart to talk to a 'local' lawyer, that is a person who practices law in the state the person plans to end up in and tell them everthing about the situation. Extradition, is a very expensive and time consuming process, even between states in the same country. (Again: there is no such thing as an answer to a legal question that does not get from the beginning the determination of jurisdiction.)

Answer 2

A traffic ticket is a notice of violation. The statute of limitations is to prevent one from being accused of a crime when the witnesses may no longer be available and defense difficult. In this case, you have already been notified of the violation and have not defended against it in the time allotted. As such, a traffic ticket does not expire and is not subject to a statute of limitations.

Answer 3

Statutes of limitations are determined by the type of claim, not which court the lawsuit is filed in.
