My friend is leaving Minnesota for Cali with unpaid tickets will this carry over?
Find answers to your legal question.

My roommate does not have a valid DL is Minnesota but his car is registered here but he has a WISCONSIN drivers licence. He got pulled over for having a suspended licence in Mn this morning. He is considering not paying this ticket because he is moving to California in a month. Just a few questions.
1) Will these unpaid tickets turn into a warrant and what kind?
2) Should he not pay these tickets and they do turn into a warrant will this show up in California should he get in any trouble there?
3)What would happen if they did show up there?
4)What is the statute of limitations on warrants(when would it go away if not taken care of)

yes - bench wrrant
yes
arrested
there is no statute of limitations

He will have a warrant forever - and when he goes to get a license at the DMV in CA, the MN warrant will show up. He's an idiot. I never understand this reasoning. Does he just think it will go away. Tell the moron to take care of it because he will get caught in CA and the CA jails are ten times worse than the MN jails.
