There is no statute of limitations on a warrant. Just because police aren't actively looking for you, means nothing. Your warrant will be found eventually. Also depends on the severity and distance from the warrant. Murder warrants go nationwide. traffic tickets within say 70miles of active warrant, you will be arrested. Most states suspend your driver's license so, If you need more time to get up the money for a lawyer or the court costs, move out of the area, and don't drive. wherever you go don't drive. Collect the money together and get that lawyer.
