Some attorneys give free consultation or Legal Aid may be of assistance.  A warrant means you can be arrested and the police can go anywhere to find you.  If disputing charges, don't be intimidated by shop owner.  Keep all records pertaining to this dispute.  Contact your state's Attorney General for advice (they are free also).

Contact the court and have the hearing rescheduled.  They might have a warrant for your arrest.  But if you show up in court and just get a fine, they will quash the warrant after the hearing.

In the UK, the police do not need a warrant to arrest you for any criminal offense if they have reasonable grounds  for believing you committed it or may be about to do so. The time of night and where the arrest takes place are totally immaterial as far as the law is concerned.\n\nThe police may need a search warrant to search your property, but this does not affect their right to arrest you.

You could be subject to arrest.  It depends on the judge.  It would behoove you to show up. At least call if there are circumstances that prevent you from attending, but have a good reason.

that's odd, they usually send out the sheriff or a deputy to issue the warrant anyways\n\n\nWell when you paid your ticket they should have given you a receipt, and if you paid with a check or money order you should have kept the stub of the money order or the bank has a copy /record of all the checks you have made. But call the court or go in person and show them that you did pay the ticket and court fee and they should clear things up, simple mistakes are done at times because people can forget to type in the info.\n\ni just read some of the answers below and they shouldn't put you in jail if you have proof that you paid.

No they won't arrest you, but if the warrant is outstanding and valid, it may prohibit you from getting the license...you can call the DMV (if you can get through) and they will let you know...

A warrant gives law enforcers the authority to perform an action, such as search your house or arrest you.  It unties the police's hands of having to have 'probable cause' in order to treat you as a suspect.\n\n\nThe Miranda Warning(for USA) is:\nYou have the right to remain silent. If you give up that right, anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney and to have an attorney present during questioning. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided to you at no cost. During any questioning, you may decide at any time to exercise these rights, not answer any questions, or make any statements.

If you paid your fine, then yes, you should not have any problems.  All you did was contest the ticket, which is just a traffic violation.  By not showing up, you forfeitted your right to contest the ticket, so you just have to pay the fine.  \n\nBut if you didn't....well, then a warrant could show up for your arrest.  Hope this helps ya!

From time to time, police departments are known to do roundups or warrant runs.\n\nIt is in your roommate's best interest to go ahead and get this taken care of.  They know the warrant is out there, and if they voluntarily take steps to resolve the issue, it will go easier on them.\n\nIt will likely be a fine, and your friend can ask the court to work with them regarding payment plans.

If you do not appear, Kentucky will issue a warrant for your arrest. It will only be valid in Kentucky, but other States could find out about the warrant. It is best to attend your court date and resolve your problem.

Was the arrest based on a complaint when you were out in public? It would seem that your home would be private. If you were not in public, you might report this arrest to the ACLU. They are short-staffed, but at least you would be on record. I won't let a cop in my house without a warrant, but it's a little late for that to help you now.

It depends on why you are there. If you are there because the state vs. you then you then a bench warrant could be issued for your arrest. Same thing goes if you are on jury duty or if you have been subpoenaed. If you are there just watching, then notthing. You can leave if you want.

Arrest warrants are valid until they have been served. Issuing an arrest warrant is sufficient to satsify statutes of limitations, so even if you manage to avoid the police until the time elapsed, they would still be able to charge you.
