so you are not arrested at the most inconvient time. if you tirn your self in then you are prepared(as prepared as anyone can be going to jail), do what ya gotta do be done and all is ok.

Yes. You need to go to the office of records or archives in the courthouse where that judicial district is located. Usually there is a civil or a criminal court clerk's office somewhere in that building. There should also be a records office somewhere in that building.\n\nNow, what with heightened courthouse security, checkpoint guards or security guards who check people through the process are often familiar with courthouse protocol and should be able to direct you to the right office.\n\nAlso, it isn't usually hard to find a lawyer walking around there and if you ask one where the right place to go is, it is free legal advice. \n\nBoth a history of warrants and civil penalties should be somewhere in that building.

Bizarre question, and difficult to answer without knowing at least what country you're in.\n\nWe'll assume you're in the US, and we'll further assume you're in California (though it's probably the same throughout the states).\n\nIf you're arraigned, the legal process has begun.  The case will not "expire" and if you fail to appear for further proceedings, you'll more than likely be charged with a failure to appear (FTA) and an arrest warrant will be issued.\n\nArrest warrants, by the way, are good forever.

Call the police department and ask them, but do it from a payphone . . . and wear your running shoes!\nOh yeah, what did you do that you think they issued a warrant?  You naughty girl . . .

It depends on why you are there. If you are there because the state vs. you then you then a bench warrant could be issued for your arrest. Same thing goes if you are on jury duty or if you have been subpoenaed. If you are there just watching, then notthing. You can leave if you want.

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

You usually get a warrant for failure to appear. If you have a good reason for not showing up(like you were in the hospital or your child was in the hospital) they will sometimes revoke the warrant and give you another court date. If you just forget.....then you probably have a warrant for your arrest.

I’m not exactly sure what your question is, but I’ll try some general information and hope I hit the mark.  First, a bench warrant is different than most of the warrants you see on TV.  You are probably familiar with Police getting a judge to sign a warrant for arrest or search.  A bench warrant is initiated by a judge and has a little different status.  It is probably most common to see them issued for “Failure to Appear.”  If you or someone you know has a bench warrant, get your personal business in order and go to the Creek County Sheriff’s Office in Sapulpa, Oklahoma and turn yourself in.  You won’t be able to bail out as easily.  Most bail bondsmen will not cover a bench warrant if it is for failure to appear.  You have already set precedence for not showing up and they loose money if you don’t show.  However, if you turn yourself in, stand before the judge and apologize for your foolish actions, there is a good chance the amount of bail can be minimized.  Turning yourself in will go a LONG WAY at showing the judge you will show up again when he tells you to.  \n\nOverall, bench warrants are much more limiting.  For whatever reason, the judge himself has decided he wants to see you in his court.  You don’t want to tick off the judge.  He holds your freedom in his hands.  Swallow any pride you have and become the most humble person you can think of.  You don’t have to like him, but you DO have to respect his authority.

If this was not his first offense, I would assume he has a probation/parole officer.  If so, have him contact his PO and turn himself in.  If it was a first time offense, call the DA and have him 'turn himself in'--he will probably be arrested on the warrant, but could be out on bail in a few hours.  Taking the first step by voluntarily surrendering will be much better for him in the eyes of a judge than being stopped for a minor traffic violation and arrested on the warrant because he got 'caught'.  Added plus is that if he is guilty--turning himself in may influence the judge's decision at sentencing.

20 years ago in CA, the procedure was to issue a bench-warrant for your arrest, with a mailed notice.  This could be cleared up with a check-in-the-mail.  No court appearance was ever necessary.\n\nUnderstand that if the cops have you in custody and a warrant check comes up positive, you'll probably be answering some additional questions in a more comfortable location.\n\nGet in touch with the court clerk in the county where you failed to appear, and ask what the procedure is.  Don't be afraid - they'll be very nice to you.

Warrants don't lapse. The police keep them on file and exercise them whenever they catch up to the person who has an outstanding warrant against them. What do you think they are doing when they get on their radios after they have pulled you over? They use your drivers license number to track these things down and your car license plates as well. They can ask you to come to the station and supply finger prints if they have cause to believe you are wanted for something, so even phony ID won't help you.
