How do you get a "bench warrant" retracted?
414460
A bench warrant is the same as an FTA (Failure to Appear) and it is good in all states. If you get pulled over and they run you it will show up and chances are you will be arrested on it. The place where the warrant was issued then has the option of whether or not to extridite.... depending on what the original charge was, this is typically unlikely, unless the original charge was something rough. You will need to turn yourself in somewhere to get the process started to handle it... in most cases the municipality or county justs wants the money that is owed.

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.

Of course you have a right to know why. If I was in your situation, I would call the office of the prosecutor who issued to warrant. Inform them who you are, ask why there is a warrant out for your arrest, and arrange a time for you to turn yourself in. It may be something as simple as an unpaid ticket, then they will just want their money and will probably let you go, if it's something more serious, you can decide whether you need to bring a lawyer with you (which you should if they are arresting you). It will look good to the judge if you are willing to face the charges rather then them having to look for you, besides, I wouldn't want a warrant for my arrest hanging over my head. Good luck.

Most states/counties have a web site where a person can enter a name to find out if there are any outstanding warrants, but I don't know if the web site tells what the warrant has been issued for. Whatever it's for, it won't go away until whatever caused the problem in the first place is resolved - and that requires going to court at some point. Sorry this isn't much help. Good luck.

Yes, a warrant can be quashed at any time.\n\nYour best bet is to have an attorney contact the district attorney or other presiding officer for the jurisdiction where the warrant was issued. \n\nAlternatively, you can negotiate directly with the governor (state crimes) or the president's office (federal crimes) for clemency.

It can only be dissolved by the court that issued it. Most are for 6 months or one year. Once they expire, they're moot. One can petition to have the order dissolved or on good cause have it vacated and set aside if there is evidence it was entered erroneously.

The are a number ways, including filing a motion to set aside the default and a motion to quash service of the lawsuit.  You should consult an attorney right away because the court where the lawsuit was filed might not have jurisdiction over you.

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.

Not sure where you are located, but in most jurisdictions, there is a simple form to complete.  But if there is no form, then just type up a statement specifying the date the pfa was cancelled and request the return of the weapon and file it at the court.

A warrant could be issued on you for failure to appear

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 or go to the court house that is in the county that the violation occurred and speak with the circuit clerks office.  They keep track of that kind of thing there.
