have an old debt owing to a city for a speeding ticket, 17 years ago. Does statue of limitations take affect?

It should!!

Contact the state judge advocate's office and ask. I suspect that the ticket debt has been sold to a colection agency for pennies on the dollar, and that agency is now trying to browbeat you into paying the debt.

I doubt that the ticket still has the force of law!
