Your best option is, of course, to return to California and take care of them in person. Obviously you don't wish to do that and, aside from not wanting to interrupt your education, you probably believe that by staying out of CA you are insulating yourself from arrest. "Jurisdiction" prevents legal matters in one state from being transferred to another.
Your next best bet would be to hire a CA attorney and have them approach the court on your behalf to try to straighten out the situation. However, realistically speaking, FIVE warrants sounds like a bit much to make 'go away.'
ADVICE: One way or the other you NEED to dispose of these matters because when you eventually graduate and wish to apply for a trustworthy job, when a background investigation is done on you disclosing the open warrants, it is extremely doubtful that you will be hired.
If you have a warrant you are subject to arrest at any time. You may not want to interact with the state until you have taken care of your warrant.
If you have an out of state warrant for probation vialation, you must present yourself in that state to have it takin care of.
When you apply for the official state ID care they will 'run' your name and DOB to confirm you are who you say you are, and probably discover the warrant.
Oh yes. You should turn yourself in to the police in the state the warrant was issued. This will begin to put this bad past behind you and once this is all taken care of you can go on with your life. Without the fear of this on your head you will be a much better person. Face your consequences.
An arrest warrant doesn't care where it is served, the address is not important. A search warrant is valid for the address or premise listed in the warrant. Whether it is your address or not will not change the validity of the warrant.
The warrant will never expire. The only way to get it taken care of is if a judge will get rid of it.
It means that you have an unanswered violation in that county that you never took care of. In this instance they simply declined to send someone to another county to pick you up, but it does not necessarily mean the the warrant has "gone away." If you were ever stopped in the county holding the warrant, in all likliehood you would be immediately arrested. Your best course of action would be to look into this and get it taken care of.
You can certainly do that. Although if the other state wishes to extradite you, you might spend several unnecessary days, or weeks, locked up in your home state awaiting both states to process your extradition. SUGGESTION: Call the court which issued the bench warrant and try to reach some understanding as to what it is for and what the possible consequences of your voluntarily turning yourself in might be. NOTE: If the case is a traffic case, it is quite likely that the other state has already suspended or revoked your driving privileges which WILL affect your license in your home state too.
As often as they want until the warrant is taken care of.
If they have been left in the care of a person who is no longer able to care for them, call the child abuse and neglect hotline in that state. To really answer this question better, I would have to know the age of the child that the parent wont return to care for.
Yes. HOWEVER in normal circumstances the dispatcher who finds the warrant in the computer will call the primary (or issuing) agency for verbal confirmation before you would be booked on the warrant. This will most often stop service of a warrant that is still in the computer by mistake.
