In Oregon, once a ticket has been issued, you have notice of the violation. The statute of limitations no longer applies.
Oregon tickets do not expire. The purpose of a statute of limitations does not apply to traffic violations. Some jurisdictions may provide an amnesty for payment, but those are rare in these hard times.
A statute of limitation would not concern you, because you were already charged with the offense. A statute of limitation is a limit on the amount of time that can pass between the commission of a crime and charging someone with the crime. If you never contested the ticket chances are that a fine was imposed and/or a bench warrant was issued.
* None, once a ticket has been issued, you have received official notice of the 'crime.' That eliminates the purpose of a statute of limitations. In most cases, if you failed to appear in court, and haven't paid the fine, the court has found you guilty and recorded the judgement.
Not sure for oregon, but normally unpaid tickets do not have a statute of limitations. An unpaid fine can result in a warrant for your arrest in most instances, but sometimes the warrant is only for ajoining counties from which the citation was issued. Your best bet is to just pay the ticket to avoid problems further down the road. If you did the violation, just pay the repercussions
Video traffic tickets are issued to the owner of the vehicle. Who was driving is not questioned.
