I just recently moved to Texas about a month ago and I have a DUI in Colorado and I missed my court date so now I have a warrant I need to get a state Id but I'm wondering if I would get arrested when I try and the DUI is a misdemeanor and non extraditable
What to do if you have a warrant but moved out of state?
Sometimes you can't take care of it while out of state. If your warrant does not have extradition beyond the state it is issued in (California for example) then you can live out your life in other states without fear of being arrested for that warrant, BUT you may not be able to do certain things like buy a gun, get certain jobs etc if you have an active warrant anywhere in the USA. Some people take a "vacation" to the state they have a warrant in and talk to the courts/lawyer before they go so they can get an idea of how much money or time they will serve if you plead or are found guilty. One guy had to do 30 days so he took leave from work and did his time and was done with the case. If your case is quick and easy then you will just pay a fine and be done, then you can sleep easy and legally go to that state again without feeling like you have to watch your back for Police. Sometimes the prosecutor can work with you and MAYBE not have to go back if the issue is just a fine and you pay it or you may have to actually appear before a judge and settle the charge if it is new or you have not plead to it yet. Get it taken care of so you don't have to worry and can travel anywhere without fear.
If I have a warrant in one state can I get my license in another?
It likely depends on the warrant (traffic related or type of other criminal warrant) and the validity of your current drivers license and the states involved. If you have a non-extraditable warrant for a minor offense that is not related to motor vehicle, then you MAY not have an issue getting a license as long as your current license is clean.If the warrant is related to a motor vehicle issue and the license is suspended , and the new issuing state requires evidence of the current license, then I suspect there will a problem with the issue of a new license. In my experience, I know people with a non-driving related warrant in another state who have received a new license in another state. Many states require surrender of the old license at the time of the new licensing ; however, I know there are some exceptions.I suggest calling the motor vehicle department and just ask them, or the best advise i can give is to face the music and take care of that warrant .They never go awayIf the warrant is criminal, see an attorney for legal advice.
In Oregon do they expedite people with warrants from other states? ?
He will never get a valid drivers license in Oregon And Oregon wold not send him back the state with the warrant would come and get him. Oregon would not take him to the other state For an unpaid traffic ticket, chances are no state will spend double that to send two officers to your state to get him, they may but that is a small infraction that really didn't harm anybody If they turn it over to a collection agency you may find wages being held, bank accounts seized, tax returns seized, and even after all the money is collected he will still have an outstanding warrant for failure to appear. But if you ever go back to the issuing state, he will be arrested on the spot if he comes into contact with police
If someone has a bench warrant in one state, could that person be arrested in another state for that same bench warrant?
I have read almost all of these answers. I am originally from Indiana, and the state places a rider on all their misdemeanor warrants that it is enforcable only within state boundaries. Now, I seen almost all of the answers her are from people with law enforcment back grounds. Not to upset anyone but police officers do not spend the time and money attorneys do on an education. When there is a rider on the warrent it is placing a legal jurisdiction or enforcement on that warrent. And that warrent is then only a legal document in the boundaries of jurisdiction of that document. Outside of that it is worthless, nothing more than toilet paper. So it is my understanding that it you are out of jurisdiction of the warrent as stated on the warrent (which at the time the officer runs a check it is stated there it) and arrest you only on the basis of that warrant then they have commited a legal kidnapping and have falsely arrested you due to the fact the officer already knows the jurisdiction of the warrent and what the intent of the issueing court is on the extradition. So yes you should take care of the warrent as soon as you can, but understand that if you are checked and you are in fact outside the limits of the warrent. It is no longer a legal document and can not be enforced at any cost just like a city police officer had NO jurisdiction in another city that is not within his state. In fact if that police office from NV came to my state of Florida and tried to use his badge in a official capacity he would be arrested for impersonating an office. If the law is like that for the jurisdiction of a person what do you think they would be for a pirce of paper. And remember to alway demand (not ask) to see the warrent and to read it completely before you sign it. Some jails have been known to pass off the warrent as extradition papers just to get you to sign the warrant. Sorry to any law enforcement officer i may have upset.
How Can I clear a warrant for arrest without going to jail?
The correct answer is that you can not. Once a warrant is issued, it stays in effect forever until you are arrested. The only thing you can do is to contact a lawyer and have him work out getting you to turn yourself in, get booked and then get released on bond. Then have the attorney work out a deal to get the charges taken care of once and for all. The bottom line is, if there is a warrant, you must be booked into jail before anything else can happen.
