It's usually a fine from what I've seen , but that's in Cali. I think to recall the warrant u need to put urself on calendar to see the judge and take away the warrant. That way u won't be arrested randomly and u have a chance to tell the judge ur schpiel. They may give u a choice if I have to do time. I can choose a day to remand ur self or they may arrest u on spot. So be prepared. But also I know there's a statue of limitation so u maybe able to just wait it out but I m not sure how long that is and it's a bit of a gamble with ur freedom and u might get more time.I got a ticket a few years back for sitting on the sidewalk in Nola. I didn't goto court and have a warrant. Has anyone been picked up for this? I'm just wondering how much time I'm looking at doing. I've heard everything from overnight to 90 days.
