Laws vary from state to state and you need to check with your local jurisdiction. Here is the answer for California. When a warrant is issued there is a BAIL amount. Bail can be set by the judge or it can be from a bail schedule. The bail amount is NOT the FINE for the offense, though sometimes bail can be forfieted to the fine when the matter is settled. Technically a warrant is a order by a judge, ordering a peace officer to make an arrest. If you go to a police station and let then know there is a warrant for your arrest, they MUST arrest you. If you take enough cash with you to the station you can then bail yourself out. The arrest and paying the bail cancels the warrant but does NOT settle the matter. When you bail yourself out you will be scheduled with a court date and still MUST go to court to settle the matter, unless it is the type of matter where the bail amount is used to settle the case. Of course the matter can be settled without an arrest by going to court and settling the matter and paying the fine.

How do you know there is an arrest warrant for your arrest?
If you 'Google' Alabama outstanding warrants, there are lots of links, Jefferson County etc. Did you do something wrong there ?? Is it likely you will have an outsanding warrant ??Added: Try the above suggestion - or - as strange as it may seem, try calling the County Sheriffs Office or the Court in that County and simply asking. Whatever you do, I suggest not putting too much faith in the commercial websites that want you to pay money to check for you.
Will customs arrest you for a misdemeanor traffic warrant?
Before a Customs agent would make an arrest for a warrant of any type, the agent would have to believe the agency holding the warrant would come to the port of entry where the arrest was made to pick up the person with the warrant. If the agency is adjacent to the port of entry (e.g. a San Diego warrant in San Ysidro), this is likely. If the agency holding the warrant was distant to the port of entry, it's unlikely they will expend the time and money to fetch someone with a misdemeanor warrant.
If a warrant is out for someone in Cleveland OH how long do they have to arrest the person on the warrant and press charges?
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.
Do you have to be arrested if you did not go to court on the date assigned and you have a warrant out for your arrest but you have the money now?
Here's some advice: Contact the Clerk of The Court that issued the bench warrant. Advise them that you are aware of the bench warrant, but that you now have the money to pay the fine. Ask them if the court would consider withdrawing the warrant if you came in voluntarily and paid the fine amount. I have known of this to happen.

The police arrest people when they have some evidence of illegal activity. Your sister's believing that you have taken money is not enough for an arrest, but if she can provide evidence or proof that you did that, you may well be arrested.
Will they issue a warrant for bad checks?
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.

Arrest warrants don't go away when they're "paid." An arrest warrant is an order by a judge for a defendant to be arrested and brough before the judge to answer charges. If the charges involve money owed then bail is often set to that amount.
