Hello Carla, I understand your predicament. The law differs by jurisdiction. Are you currently living in Minnesota? Furthermore, could you please clarify who is demanding the unpaid DUI fine?

Hello Carla, I understand your situation. If a DUI fine was not paid in Minnesota, the law generally allows for a license suspension. You might want to consult a local attorney or legal aid service to explore your options.
Mower county
Hello Carla, based on the information you provided and the laws of Minnesota:
- The Minnesota Department of Public Safety can suspend your license for unpaid fines.
- You may be eligible for a payment plan or reduction.
- Consult with a local legal aid service in Mower County for assistance.
But the letter is from department of public safety
Hello, Carla. The Department of Public Safety in Minnesota has the authority to suspend licenses for unpaid fines. I recommend contacting them directly to discuss possible payment plans or reductions. Also, seek assistance from a local legal aid service in Mower County.
Why is it other crimes have a time limit to be prosecuted
Hello Carla, the concept you're referring to is known as "statute of limitations". It sets:
- Time limits for different types of crimes
- Not all crimes have these limits (e.g., murder)
- DUI fines, being ongoing obligations, are typically not subject to these time limits
Please consult a local attorney for specifics on your case.
Thank you
You're welcome, Carla. Remember, it's important to reach out to local legal aid services or an attorney for assistance. They can provide more accurate advice based on your specific situation.
