Appear on the warrant
only if there is a warrant for your arrest.
Yes. An extradition happens because a person has an active warrant in one jurisdiction and is later taken into custody in another jurisdiction. If a person knows he/she has a warrant for a bad check in another state, they can avoid the issue of extradition by traveling to that state and clearing up the warrant before they are taken into custody elsewhere.
Possibly, and likely if you secured your loan with a check that did not clear. Negotiating a bad check is a crime in every state.
They will arrest at the first opportunity.
Warrants never expire. They exist until canceled by the judge. And you will probably be arrested if stopped in Louisiana.
If a warrant has been issued the only thing that will clear the warrant is to turn yourself in to law enforcement, or retain an attorney to contact law enforcement on your behalf.
A 13-year old is a minor. A check is a legal document. Minors are not allowed to sign legal documents. Therefore a check shouldn't be accepted in the first place from a 13-year old. If one did accept such a check he does so at his own risk, because it's inconceivable to believe that the State would issue a warrant in this type of situation. ADDED: I do not believe the questioner was asking about a 13 year old INDIVIDUAL, but was asking about a 13 year old BAD CHECK. If that is the case; It depends on the statute of limitations for that offense in the state in which the check was 'uttered.' It also depends on if the warrant was issued durng the Statute of Limitatins, because once a warrant was issued it means the charges were filed. If this is the case then there is no statute of limitations. However, as stated above, if 13 years has passed and no charges were filed then the Statute of Limitations has probably expired.
Bad checks are a crime and yes, they can get a warrant. Depending on the circumstances they are not likely to make arrests or go that far. They want their money, not you in jail. They can absolutely arrest you in Montana. Their records are slow, and if you accidently write a check which bounces, they will arrest you and/or put a warrant out for your arrest. It happened to me, I bounced a check to the supermarket for $40. I cleared it up but they have paper records there, and they arrested me and put my "bail" at $100.
It will depend on the level of crime that is charged for the check. In Alabama a misdemeanor is set at 12 months. For a felony it is set at 3 years. The statute is met once an indictment or warrant is issued, regardless of whether it can be served immediately or not.
How do you KNOW that the statute of limitations has passed? - AND - Are you CERTAIN? My adivce would be: Call the law enforcement agency in the county where you think the warrant was issued and ask.
Warrants DON'T EXPIRE!! Once a warrant has been issued against a Defendant it stays active until served or recalled.
