Question about speeding tickets in Iowa

i think your ok just draw a penis on the ticket and mail it in

someone never went to drivers ed

ANYTHING ILLEGAL THAT YOU DO IS ATTACHED TO YOU LICENSES. YOU WILL BE ALRIGHT IF YOU NEVER GET PULLED OVER, BUT IF YOU GET PULLED OVER IN VERMONT, OR FUCKING FLORIDA, COPS WILL SEE WHAT YOU DID AND YOU WILL GET IN A TON OF TROUBLE

dont be a fucking idiot.

i kinda thought it went state by state unless its a felony    like a dui you cant run from but a speeding ticket i think  you can and chill the fuck out dude

this guy is right. All the states are interconnected. within a month of not paying that ticket there will be a warrant out for you arrest, and the next time you get pulled over or even have the cops run your ID you will be arrested.

i only flipped out because your an idiot. your technically running from the police. do you have any common sense? you think they would really have a gap in their system where people could just not pay tickets and be alright?

yeah dude theres a difference between felonies and misdemeanors, he will be wanted in iowa but their probly not gonna pick him up at the airport next time he flies but if he gets pulled over again in iowa hell have to pay the ticket

i didnt say they would pick him up at an airport and suspend his passport and all that, but your going to get into legal shit if you do get pulled over. you will probably be arrested

dude ur a fuckin idiot u got a speeding ticket...pay it or go to iowa and go to court there that is what u do with speeding tickets if not u will get in serious trouble

no dude, your the idiot. police in one state cannot see a speeding ticket from another state. if they could see the tickets i have gotton in the past, i would have been waaaay fucked several times. so fuck you, take caps off, you just look like a retard when you type in caps.

this is true. i'm from IL and have an IL dl. I got nailed on a dui in PA and an insane speeding ticket. Needless to say, it is no longer legal for me to operate a motor vehicle in the state of pennsylvania. however, the cops in IL never found out about it. I've got a connection to police computers and I've had him run my id several times to see if my IL license was ever suspended. never happened. never showed up. i paid my fine in PA, bailed back to IL, and never had lost my license here. i've had a few run ins with johnny law since then too and this never came up.

If you pay the ticket it wont be a problem. As others have said, cops in other states wont see that ticket when they run your info, only cops in Iowa. No if you didnt pay the ticket, you would have a warrent out for your arrest, and any cop will be able to see it.

u paid the ticket and fine... this is why your speeding ticket and dui are off ur record but if you didint pay it  like the op is saying then u would have a warrant out for your arrest and then you would have been taken in...

no. i said that the dui and the ticket never showed up.  i checked before it was paid.  i didn't pay it until like a year later.  i just had it ran a second ago and there isn't, nor has there ever been, any record of the stuff that happened in PA as far as IL is concerned.  The states don't communicate as well as one would think. 

while i can certainly appreciate your wanting to contribute to the thread, i am clearly competent enough to have done all of the research for my situation and you are wrong.

wrong. wrong. wrong.
example. my dad got a speeding ticket in Chicago, next day got one in Detroit. Cop asked him if he had any other tickets, he said no. Cop told him about Chicago.

Park tickets are another story.

i think its something like a federal offense or something.  I its not a federal offense then only state police will look for you and they dont cross state lines.   FBI only does federal offenses i think

if you don't pay a ticket within the allotted month or so, you get a court date.  if you don't appear in court you get a misdemeanor.  the police won't hunt you down, but if you get pulled over, you're going to jail.  there's also a good chance you're going to lose your license.

now you can generally assume that you're now a marked man everywhere, but that's not always the case.  some states don't share traffic based violations like that with certain other states.  this can lead to the interesting situation where your license has been legally revoked in a particular state, but not in all.  strange shit.  i have no idea how iowa deals with this stuff.

you do have the option of delaying your initial court date for a long time if you so choose though.  just keep calling with good excuses about why you can't make the date.  your first round in the courts isn't an actual trial anyway, you get hussled into a room with a few dozen other people and read your rights.  they then give you the choice of either paying the ticket, accepted a basic plea bargain which is basically a choice of money vs. points on your license or going before a judge.  if you chose the last, you then get a real court date.  i've personally delayed that first date for 3 months and probably could have gone for much longer.

hope that helps

Well I being one of Iowa's fine citizens have recieved two speeding tickets in the last week. one in iowa and one in illinois. the ticket in illinois did not show up when i was pulled over in iowa, however i have to pay the iowa ticket or my license will be revoked and i will have to drive under court supervision when i get it back.

my uncle lost his license after being pulled over for running a stop sign in my homestate of MA. it turns out he got a speeding ticket in Tennessee in 1984.pay your ticket.
