WA Warrants
Traffic tickets in Washington can easily turn into warrants if you aren’t responsible and fail to take care of the situation appropriately. If you don’t pay the ticket and also do not attend court, a bench warrant will be issued – often without you having a clue. If you have a warrant and are stopped by police, you are sure to visit the local jail, and could even end up spending a night or two in the joint with a bond that could be quite high.If a traffic ticket isn’t your issue, but you have been charged with a DUI/DWI, the case can be much more severe – and failure to attend to this issue could result in much longer time in jail and a more serious warrant out for your arrest.
So:
- How can you tell whether a warrant has been issued for your arrest without actually encountering the law and getting a one way ticket to jail?
- How can you be sure that you are protected from a Washington arrest warrant, and where do you find the information you need to care for the situation adequately?
- You could visit the local police department, but just know that if a warrant does exist, you will be taken in and may lose your opportunity to resolve the issue before going to jail.
- Another method is to visit a Washington traffic or criminal attorney, which can look up police records and determine whether or not a warrant does exist.
- Another way to run a warrant check in Washington is to use the various online sources that are on the net, which can offer these checks for a small cost and many times for a membership cost that will offer various searches and multiple warrant checks in Washington or other states that you may visit. This could be a good way to find out without having to encounter anyone but will often cost the most.
