I'm from canada and got a ticket in the US

I got a ticket the other day in Wyoming for going 88 in a 75 zone. I'm from Nova Scotia, Canada and was wondering if I actually have to pay the $120 fine? I have no plans to ever go back to that state ever again as I was just driving through.


thanx

dave

jovenilleb has a little shameless behaviour in the past
The best thing to do man is to pay the ticket or else it will keep on building up,it means the amount will go up over the years and will be under your name. If you ever go back again here in US and be pulled over by a cop.It will still appear in there database. Its better to pay it than to wait before the small problem get worst.

You never know if you'll be back to the USA. I'm sure you know that any level of goverment just "dont forget about people who own $ to them".
As it's been said with interest and penalties it may grow up to a hefty amount and when it reaches certain limit, goverments wILL get access to more otions on getting unpaids paid.
My advise is not to be cheap and to just pay it and forget it.
(I employed in this area, so I know )
