Out of state arrest warrant question...?
3 years ago I was driving my now EX boyfriends car in Las Vegas (lived there for a few months) and I as pulled over due to blue lights I had on my hood. THe cop requested my registeration which was expired and the car was uninsured. I told the cop the car was my boyfriends car. He didn't write me a ticket but gave me a warning about the lights, and told me to provide proof of insurance. I told my boyfriend about it and he told me not to worry. Today, 3 years later, I get an arrest warrant from Las Vegas in the mail. I live in California. Since the car wasn't mine nor was my name on the car what so ever, should this warrant be applied to me?? My ex is going to call and talk with the officer today and explain that the car was his and explain why it wasn't insured.

You need to get it cleared up. They wont usually extradite you over it but if you go to Vegas you could visit the crossbars hotel by accident. You can show if you had insurance on another vehicle that would help but always worry about things like this.
It could affect you license being revoked and higher insurance down the line. Make sure to clear it up yourself. Never allow things to be placed on the back burner this is serious.

If you are driving a car you should know if it is insured. I would worry about it. I don't know about Nevada but in my state you license will be suspended until you show insurance or up to one year. If you apply to jobs and they do back ground checks they may not hire you because you have an outstanding warrant or because you license is suspended. In my state if you show proof of insurance after the fact the fine is cut in half and your license is saved. If you should that you have insurance on a vehicle you own in your name it is dropped. Also it could affect your future insurance rates so definitely do not ignore it.

Certainly if you were told to provide proof of insurance you got some sort of ticket. You were driving so you were issued the ticket, and were therefore responsible for clearing the matter up, whether taking in his proof of insurance or paying the fine. Driving without insurance isn't something that can be "explained away". I don't understand why you put the responsibility for your traffic citation on someone else. You need to speak to a criminal defense attorney to resolve this or be prepared to be arrested.
