Why do i have a warrant for something i didnt do?

[benon]

I was issued a court date for a traffic violation, and i went to the courthouse on the date issued, i was on time, punctual, and i asked a court worker where to go, so i gave here my info, and showed here my ticket, and she told me there was no record for me, i know the cop who pulled me over helped me out, he told me discretely to just go, i think he let me go with a warning, because he gave me a ticket with no amount on it, i only had to go to court. My question is, why do i have a warrant for arrest for this matter, when i was told by the court worker there was nothing for me on that date, she even gave me a form stating i was there, sealed and stamped by the Burbank Courthouse. The warrant was ordered on the same i went to court. It says on the warrant notice, "IF YOU ALREADY APPEARED ON THE FOLLOWING CASE, PLEASE DISREGARD THIS NOTICE", should i just ignore this letter, is it a mistake on behalf of the court?? I am worried, it says 26,000 dollars bail, WTF???

Turn yourself into your local Police Department and work things out.

It sounds like it is ignore worthy, but if it were me i would call the court house. Make sure you HAVE those documents as well just in CASE. Call them up and say 'hey, it says i have a warrant for a no-show, but i have a document saying i did show. Can i disreguard?' And they will ask you a few things like name and all that. they will tell youhow to procede. It must be a mistake. Just make sure you HAVE THOSE DOCUMENTS :)

Write the court a letter and have it notarized. Make your details very specific and honest and state exactly what happened, and ask them to correct their error. Or turn yourself in, but best to ALSO state what happened in writing so there is an actual record of it this time.
