<human>: Alright, here's the situation: last August I got a ~$180 speeding ticket in a nearby town in Louisiana. I lost the ticket and kind of forgot about it, so I forgot to show up in court and never paid the ticket. It's been almost a year, I've passed a background check in the meantime, the police haven't come looking for me, I haven't gotten any collection notices at my registered address. My license and car is registered out of state, so the police don't where I currently live. 

I would simply pay the ticket, but I don't have any money at the moment, and if I called the police up to talk about it I feel like it would put me on their radar, so to speak.

I'm tempted to just avoid paying for the next 2 until I get a higher paying job (I'm currently in a training program that will lead to internships and 100K+ jobs) when I will be able to afford to pay it. This is a terrible idea, right? The ticket was given by municipal police in a nearby city, not state or county police, so would the police in my area even know I haven't paid my ticket? Would I get arrested if I am pulled over here? Is this hurting my credit?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?
<bot>: Municipal police in different city but same state I live in gave me a ticket a year ago, should I continue to ignore it or will this blow up in my face?
