Off topic: law enforcement question:
(sorry, I didn’t see an “off topic section”)
Background: I received a weight ticket in the late 90’s at the scales on I-5 near Fife.
My employer said he would pay it. Then at a later date the local terminal said they would not pay the ticket because it was district work and district would pay it out of their budget not the local budget. I have renewed my license twice since time of the ticket. Not a full renew, just the hazardous tests. My employeer also has ran my license for the annual Federal DOT check. But I don't know if these two data bases "talk" to each other. One Fed the other state.
What got me thinking about this was when I attended a driver improvement class (well worth the 10% discount I’ll get.) The instructor said there are a lot of people that have “bench warrants” that don’t even know they do or thought the ticket was taken of. The instructor recommended calling your insurance company as they review your license prior to issuing policy. My insurance company (pemco) said that they just review “moving” violations. I ran across a local sheriff and explained the problem asked him to run my license. He said we would but, if a bench warrant came up he would have to haul me in. I passed.
Question: Where does one call or go to see if tickets have been paid?
Any help would be helpful
Thanks
