Can You Be Arrested at a Border for an Unpaid Speeding Ticket

[medicguy]

My question involves a speeding ticket from the State of: Washington

My fault, got the ticket nearly 2 years ago, lost the ticket and forgot to pay it. I am now on the eve of re-entering Wa state to fly from Bellingham to Vegas.

My question is do the border guards get info for bench warrants or just federal? I'm assuming that I have one for me now from the information I've read on the internet.

thanks in advance...

I doubt a bench warrant but not being able to cross the border is a very likely possibility. An employee of mine was ticketed in Michigan, failed to pay and about a month later, was denied entry into the states from Canada until the fine was settled.

Was she able to settle the ticket on the spot? I have the funds and WANT to pay it... this is all my fault, but need to get it cleared up as quickly as I can.

Contact the court where the ticket was issued, and ask.
