But your still screwed if they pull you over, it doesnt matter where you live or where you are, as long as your in the US. A cop in another state MIGHT let you go, but if not, your getting indicted through the system all the way back to where you owe the ticket...takes weeks or months of going from jail to jail. You SHOULD just pay it, but thats my opinion lol
EDIT: Didnt see the "Sent the money" post
