Got a ticket for sitting on the sidewalk

in Arcata, CA. Really don't want to pay this because it's fucking ridiculous. If I don't pay, will a warrant be issued? Like, if I'm in Colorado or some shit, would they haul my ass back to the north coast for a lock up?
 
Hey, I got me one of those! But that was in Louisianna.

They'll issue a warrant if you don't pay/show up to court, db3kfan, but its non-extraditable. so if you can get out of the state, yer golden.
 
Ditto what Dirty Rig said. I got one of these sitting outside a taco bell drinking a soda I PAID FOR THERE. I feel a bit of your rage I think.

edit: Charlottesville, VA for the record.
 
the statute of limitation in new orleans is 7 years. i am perfectly happy not going back there for even longer than that ;)
 
i was thinking austin. they'll get your ass too. mine was dismissed, no show for court or nothing. it just got dropped.
 
I got the same thing in santa cruz earlier this summer, sent them a letter, somehow got out of the warrent, told them I was a traveler and didnt have money to pay it. its up to 300 dollars now or something rediculious.
 
Why don't you go to court and ask the judge if that's what passes for justice these days, ask the cop (if he shows - if he doesn't: case dismissed) if that's why he joined the force, to write loitering tickets to kids taking a brief rest.
You got somewhere else to be? Wouldn't it feel great to win against the cop in a court?
 
Although I admire your enthusiasm, I don't think anyone has won in court for throwing a "there's no more justice anymore!" tantrum :-/
