Paying the ticket generally is construed as a guilty plea, although I don't know why you would still have to appear in court after paying. It may yet be possible to get the guilty plea set aside and/or the court date continued. I'd suggest that you contact a traffic attorney in OH.
I paid the ticket so I wish my hsuband could get off based on that but I did call some ins. companies here in AZ and they said not to worry about it because when a company is looking for anything, it is for anything the person might have received in the state in which they reside.
Time will tell but it is too bad there is not anything clear on this matter.
Since Arizona is not part of the Drivers compact, then how would it get reported to local authorities?
