Best Answer

No. A statute of limitations would apply to if somebody committed a crime, but did not get caught until after the statute expired. When a person was issued the citation they were caught (or charged - however you want to think about it).

When a person goes in to take care of the ticket, he can plead Guilty or No Contest, and then just pay the ticket (or do Defensive Driving in some cases). By entering one of those two pleas, the case is essentially closed.

If the person pleads Not Guilty, then the case will go to a trial, where evidence will be presented and a decision reached.

What is the statute of limitations on unpaid fines in NJ?

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. A traffic ticket is a notice of violation. As such, a traffic ticket does not expire and is not subject to a statute of limitations. Some jurisdictions will stop trying to collect, or declare on amnesty on tickets on a specific time frame.

The issuing jurisdiction can collect on the ticket at any point. It used to be common for places to have an amnesty of fines. But with the economy the way it is currently is, they probably won't be offered
