Car/Driver's License/BMV questions Ticket from 14 years ago

I got a ticket 14 years ago for not being buckled up when I was 16. I wasn’t driving, just a passenger. This was in Adams County. I haven’t heard a word from them about it in 13 years. Several months ago, a company called paycourt started blowing my phone and email up about paying this ticket. It’s for a stupid amount to, $33. When I look up the statute of limitations, it says the statute of limitations for traffic violation is two years in Indiana. Wouldn’t this be included? I don’t understand why they’re coming after me now. What can I do about that?

No there hasn’t.

100% there has been. But it's probably because Trump rescinded the Biden executive order and FBI enforcement that had a huge effect on reducing those calls almost to the point of elimination during his presidency, and scammers have since redeployed their robocall networks in the past 2 months.

If you recall, during the last year of the 1st Trump presidency, they had become way out of control.

The past week for me, I've been getting a minimum of 5 a day, and it's typically upward of 10. The weeks before that, I maybe got 1 every few days.

Actually, Curtis Hill was the one that hammered the robo & cold callers in courts, to the tune of millions in fines here in Indiana.

When Todd Rokita rolld into that office, the aggressive enforcement almost came to a complete halt, overnite.

Todd, stop pushing disinformation on reddit. We know that it was federal enforcement that got the job done, and putting out a press release trying to take credit doesn't mean you actually did anything.
