No. A 'warrant' is not the same as a 'fine.' Someone else can pay a fine for you, but a warrant is for a named individual and the court intends to "see" that individual in person.
I am very familiar with Community Court. Generally you have to go to jail and pay the bond amount Community Court sets when the judge issues a warrant. You then are booked and released, or in some jurisdictions, released without booking.
No, the warrant has to be satisfied. YOU HAVE TO GO TO JAIL.
If you have a warrant because of the ticket, it is too late to pay it by mail. You will have to appear to pay it in person. In most cases it will. When you appear to pay it, simply ask.,
Since you failed to pay, or appear, you more than likely have a bench warrant issued for your arrest. Go to the arresting agency and turn yourself in. You may or may not have a bond, but be prepared to not only pay your fine, but also face a failure to appear charge.
That means you pay the Court $500.00, and they hold that until trial instead of holding your body until trial. You can call a bail bondsman who will ask you to pay a portion of that amount as a fee, and they will put up the money for you. They will also have many rules you must follow or they will go "off" your bond, and a warrant would be issued for your arrest. At the end of trial, your bond amount is then either released to you, or held to pay your fine.
If they committed a crime then you can go to the Magistrate's office and explain your situation. Then they will be able to tell you if a warrant is necessary.
This would never be recommended as If you cross state lines your charges can become Federal offenses. Assuming you posted a bond and never appeared, a warrant, more commonly known as a bench warrant, will be issued. Your bond posted will be ordered forfeited and a state wide warrant will be issued. In the event someone did this, they would not only have local law enforcement looking for them, but state marshals as well.
No, you'd probably go to jail, unless you had an attorney work out a deal with the district attorney.
Yes I saw someone go into the police office and turn himself in and he only had a credit card to pay the fine and they only took cash and he was arrested.
A bench warrant is generally a warrant for the arrest of someone who has failed to appear in court as ordered. It's called that because it is issued from "the bench," the place where the judge sits in the courtroom.
i found out i had a misdemanor warrant for my arrest from 2001 what should i do
They will issue a bond in court. You will be released on bond. But you will have to appear on the court date they assigned you. Failure to appear, will breach the bond that was set. another warrant will be issued. But this time, if your caught, there is no discussion. You are arrested if caught, and you go to jail. End of story. Post a bond with the court, and show up when they say to. You will have whats called a "prelim exam," with the prosecutor. Chances are your charges will be reduced to something less. Probation, fines and court fees. No big deal.
