What is the statute of limitations on parking tickets in Indiana?

Answer 1

Indiana's statute of limitations are based on the seriousness of the crime charged. Murder and Class A Felonies have no limit. The other felonies are set at 5 years with extensions for underage victims and DNA evidence. Misdemeanors are set as 2 years. Absence from the state or concealing the evidence can toll the statute.

Answer 2

It's two years but that is before you actually get the ticket and the charges file. A filed case can linger forever as it is a civil trial (infraction) and the right to a speedy trial doesn't exist. So, if you are speeding an officer has two years simply to deliver a summons to you.

Answer 3

Typically there is not one for tickets. As laws vary from place to place, you would have to check with the issuing authority in the appropriate city, county or state to resolve this citation. Statute of Limitations is to prevent someone being accused of something years after it happened when witnesses are not available and memories are not fresh. A ticket eliminates this issue. Once a ticket has been issued, there is no requirement that there be any sort of time frame associated with resolving it.

Answer 4

There is no statute of limitations on municipal debts/fines.

Answer 5

Indiana traffic tickets are not subject to a statue of limitations. The offender has already been informed of the violation.

Answer 6

If a speeding ticket has been issued it is not subject to a statue of limitations. The offender has already been informed of the violation.
