Hi,

I am not sure what section this goes into but my friend want to travel here to USA to visit us. She had a red light camera offence 14 years ago that she never received and it went to a warrant but it never went to court. She remember that she should have gotten the ticket so she went to the police station herself and they said yes there is a warrant here. So she paid it on the spot.

Now my question is - would she count this as a criminal offence? It is only a traffic violation nothing ever went to court? She asked the police if she should put this down on her ESTA and they said oh yes... Well she got denied straight away. We told her that it is only a traffic offence and it wouldn't matter.

What should she have done... She is going to try and do ESTA again but wants opinions on what she should have said. Please answer so we can get this moving.

M.

ESTA asks about CIMT's, not traffic offences.

So this is of no relevance.

Crime involving moral turpitude.
