It is a very bad idea not to appear in court when there is a case against (or for you). If you fail to appear in court when your mandatory appearance is required, you are guilty of a misdemeanor. If you fail to appear in court, the judge will issue a "bench warrant" for failing to appear when you were obligated to do so. If a judge does issue a bench warrant then any of the following may happen:

* If you are stopped by the police, a systems check of your license number will alert them to the bench warrant, and you will be arrested and brought before the court

* Your license will be suspended until the case is closed and you will have to pay a fee to the DMV to get it reinstated

* You may be held in contempt of court

* You may have to pay a fine

* You may be held in jail until the hearing

* You may be denied bai
