I have a arrest warrant out on my name,what can i do now.?

Postby muireach » Thu Jun 28, 2012 6:36 pm

2 weeks earlier i was pulled over for speeding and covering my car's back light with black paper.I was going on 80 on a 60km road.So the cops pulled me over and i got two tickets. in total the cost of two tickets was about $800.I couldn't arrange the money as i am from canada and i came to america for studying and my parents are not with me and i don't have a job.i couldn't show up on the court date and clear my tickets and now they have a warrant out on my name.

What should i do now, and even if i go to jail then how many days or months will i be staying there?

I am 22 and i was arrested before for possession of drugs.and i was in probation for 6months. but now i am not in any sort of probation.

You now have the right to comply with the cop's orders.

Turn yourself in and take your lumps. If you get caught the least that my happen is you get deported which would prevent you from legally re-entering the USA. Traffic tickets are no big deal but being arrested on agency warrant will wreck your day.
