I lived in California 4 years ago and just before I left to move back to Ireland, I had rented a car and received a ticket for breaking a red light in San Francisco. I only found out about this months after I returned here to live and never bothered paying the fine as it was €300 and I still hadn't found a job here. The problem is that I now want to go back to visit friends in California but I'm afraid with all this new Homeland Security that I will have terrible problems at Immigration and my biggest fear is that I may be arrested! I now have a new passport as my previous one expired so there are no historical stamps from my greencard. I have no plans to enter the country on my greencard anymore but rather as a tourist as the greencard is probably invalid now that I've been outside the US for so long. Does anyone have any experience of entering the US with fines such as this outstanding or should I just try and track it down all these years later and pay it off before visiting the country again?
