When you go in tommorrow ask for a copy of the warrant. You should have a lawyer waiting there for you, just ask him or her. You have the right to see the warrany.

Show up to court or turn yourself in.  Better yet, don't commit any crimes. : )

try to call and explain to them what happen and get a answer from the courts, you might have a warrent out for your arrest,or you can go to the court house and see the judge and explain but have at least a 100.00 dollars for bail

It's called Failure to Appear and the result is quite simply that a bench warrant is issued for you.  If it's a big city, chances are they won't come looking for you at your house, but if you get pulled over for any reason and they run your license, you'll be arrested on the spot and then things get much worse.  I missed my court date for littering in college (just forgot all about it) and they came to my dorm and arrested me.  They let me go once we got the jail and it was a smaller city, but they did come to me, so it's really hard to say.\n\nIf you missed your date, call them - get it taken care of.

Call up the police, on a pay phone. If you go to the cop shop have bail money.

Was the arrest based on a complaint when you were out in public? It would seem that your home would be private. If you were not in public, you might report this arrest to the ACLU. They are short-staffed, but at least you would be on record. I won't let a cop in my house without a warrant, but it's a little late for that to help you now.

walk up to a cop on the street and tell him your name and ask if you have warrants. if he arrests you, then you do, if he doesnt arrest you, you dont. simple really.

you could have a bench warrant placed for your arrest, I would show up if I was you, you know you don't have to incriminate yourself though don't you? just be truthful, answer what they ask and you should be fine, if you don't know, say so.

Prove it was an illegal search and seizure and the evidence is thrown out - no evidence, no case ! \nI had to get a lawyer to do it. You should too !

I would have to agree with the other answers, but would like to make some points clear. Number one hire a lawyer and be completely honesty with him/her (this is very very important). Number two turn yourself in with your lawyer present (but only after talking candidly with your lawyer). If the police have to track you down it looks bad if it goes to court. If there are mitigating circumstances (IE self defense) turning yourself in shows good faith and that you intend to 'face the music'. The most important thing is be HONEST with your lawyer and trust your lawyers judgement. You may spend some time in jail if you can't make bail, if you do make bail be sure to appear for your court dates. Good Luck

you should call the cops and tell them that you had some stuff stolen from your property they may or may not do something about it....

Yes.....but they will just ignore you.  There are procedural issues that are different from municipality to municipality.  Unless you know exactly what to do, the liklihood of success is low (the friend of the court may be able to help you out).\n\nAlso, what you subpoena must be relevant.  If you can't prove the relevance to your case, you will get completely ignored....even with an attorny.\n\nExample 1:  You want a record of all parking tickets on a given day to try and prove so many people get tickets that perhaps they shouldn't.  Not going to happen.\n\nExample 2:  You are accused of bank robbery.  Witnesses saw someone get into an illegally parked car after robbing a bank.  The cops grab you off the street because you match a description given to them.  A witness identifies you as the suspect....doh.  You need a record of all cars ticketed in front of the bank as leads as to whom might have really robbed the bank.  Definitely relevant.

so i take it u were arrested for this?  okay, a $10 item is like theft in the 3rd degree.  it's like petty theft.  nothing warranting a big to do.  if the store is pressing charges, then yeah, u will have to do the whole court thing.  get a lawyer IMMEDIATELY.  Request a court appointed one if u can't afford it.  Plead NOT GUILTY during ur first court appearance (arraignment).  The burden is on the state to prove its case.  Don't hand it over on a silver platter.  Things can happen by the time u r  scheduled to go to trial.  Charges could be dismissed due to lack of evidence, etc.  Ok, if things don't go ur way, and u eventually agree to a plea deal, u will NOT get jail time for a $10 theft.  the justice dept has much bigger fish to fry (like rapists, child molesters, etc.) than to imprison u for your petty theft.  U will just have to pay restitution (in other words, pay the store $10 for its loss) and court fees.  U will be put on probation and likely have to do a few community service hours.  If u r lucky, u will be able to swing a "deferred sentence" whereby u will NOT have this on your record if u "keep your nose clean" from problems for a designated amt of time.
