A bench warrant is a warrant that is issued directly by a judge. It is usually only enforced when Law Enforcement comes into contact with the named party in the warrant.

How long can you stay in jail for failure to appear driving on suspended license in Alabama?

"Failure to appear" in Alabama will cause a bench warrant to be issued for your arrest. Usually, you would not be picked up on a bench warrant unless they run your ID for another reason and the warrant shows up. You will be taken to jail under the warrant and will remain there until (a) you post bond, or (b) you go to court. You will be assigned the "next available" court date, sometimes as long as 30 to 60 days out.
