La R.S. 32:64 is the general speed law. https://legis.la.gov/Legis/Law.aspx?d=88494 Sometimes, one may cite La R.S. 32:61. I would recommend that you contact a traffic ticket attorney in your area to discuss this specifically and what options exist.
The warrant is 13 years old. Around this time I was not driving at all for any reason. I recently learned to driving within the last 5 years.
Will this be thrown out in court? Should I call the prosecutor and ask for dismissal?

I would not call the prosecutor and ask for a dismissal. If you hire an attorney, then if your attorney decided to do that, then I have no issue. In my estimation, while one might say the ticket is defective, it is something which the prosecutor can easily cure---as such, even were the ticket... Read more »

it's pressure from the prosecutor to settle the case early. Yes, it's legal. But not fair. Unfortunately your son needed to speak with an attorney who could review all of the facts available and help mount a good defense. Simply pleading NOT GUILTY and telling the DA you'd consider... Read more »
