Show up to court with the fine payment, and possibly some for late fees and it will be quashed immediately. If you go to court without the money, they will probably put you in jail unless they grant you a continuence, don't take that chance, get the cash. If you get picked up on this warrant you're doing days for dollars, it's HELL.

Is there a statute of limimations for an unpaid DUI from Oregon to stay on one's California record?
Not sure for oregon, but normally unpaid tickets do not have a statute of limitations. An unpaid fine can result in a warrant for your arrest in most instances, but sometimes the warrant is only for ajoining counties from which the citation was issued. Your best bet is to just pay the ticket to avoid problems further down the road. If you did the violation, just pay the repercussions

If you have a warrant in Florida and you get pulled over in PA or any state for that matter will it show up and will you get arrested?
If you have an active warrant in Florida, it is possible that it may show up in other states' law enforcement databases when you are pulled over. However, whether or not you will get arrested depends on the specific circumstances and the discretion of the police officers involved. It is advisable to address any outstanding warrants as soon as possible to avoid potential legal complications.
Should you be interviewed by a police officer before being picked on warrant?
If the question is whether the police need to speak with you or interview you prior to arresting you on a warrant, the answer is no. If it was a requirement that they speak with you, anyone could avoid being arrested on a warrant simply be refusing to speak with the police. Police have an obligation to make sure they are serving the correct person (i.e. - the person named on the warrant) and to do so they will often ask questions first. If they already have a warrant for your arrest, that means that a judge already decided there was probable cause to believe you committed a crime. You might be interviewed after the arrest but if they have probable cause already there is no requirement for them to interview you prior to serving a valid warrant.

Why didn't police officers arrest me when a wants and warrants check came back positive from another state?
You won't be arrested for warrants held in another state if the agency that has the arrest warrant is unwilling to come and get you. That process is called "extradition." Because of the expense involved in sending officers to other states to retrieve fugitives, the process is generally reserved for only the most serious offenses. Even though you might avoid being arrested for a warrant held in another state, you will also find the existence of that warrant may make it difficult for you to get a driver's license or even secure employment.
Is getting arrested on bench warrant the same as turning yourself in?

How long can you fall behind in your car payments before they can issue a warrant?
They cannot issue a warrant to have you arrested for non-payment of your car loan. Worst case: They have sent a repossession agent to retrieve the vehicle but you have hidden it and he cannot find it. If you avoid repossession for long enough and refuse to cooperate, the lender may get a court order (writ of replevna) demanding that you surrender the vehicle. This order will be delivered by the county sherrif, not the repo man. At this point, you will either allow them to take the car or be arrested for contempt of court. It is about 30-45 days
What can you do if you disagree with the bench warrant?
Appear. A warrant is an order from the court for something to be done. A bench warrant is a order to any police officer (which they must obey) to arrest and deliver a specific person to the court. Going in on your own should cancel the warrant, and may let you avoid arrest.
May an officer arrest anywhere in the country?
Generally no. Usually police officers have specific jurisdictions where they make arrests. Some states give police, or peace officers jurisdiction to arrest in the entire state. Only Federal law enforcement officers can arrest in any state, but only for Federal law violations. When a Boston police officer needs a person arrested in Atlanta, for example, they obtain a warrant for the suspect's arrest, place the warrant on NCIC (National Crime Information Computer) and tell Atlanta to pick the suspect up on the warrant. Once the suspect has been arrested in Atlanta, the Boston Police must forward complete copies of the warrant and the affidavit used to obtain the warrant to Atlanta. The suspect may then fight extradition to Massachusetts to avoid the Massachusetts Courts. Suspects rarely win extradition fights.
