Bench Warrant Issues in Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania Courts do more than frown on individuals who fail to respond or appear to a summons or traffic citation. In the case of a criminal case, the Judge has the authority to issue a bench warrant for your failure to appear. In the case of a traffic citation, the Pennsylvania District Magistrate Judges are authorized to notify Penndot to suspend your drivers' license privileges until a response is received. What ever the reason for failing to appear, don't compound the error with trying to ignore the bench warrant or fugitive warrant or arrest warrant. Facing an arrest warrant or bench warrant in Pennsylvania? Seek out Pennsylvania Criminal Defense Lawyers that are reasonable and ready to fight: Ciccarelli Lawyers.
Once a bench warrant is issued, it can remain active indefinitely! That means that a Pennsylvania bench warrant from ten or twenty years ago can haunt you any time you are stopped for a traffic citation or need to appear in court, any where in the country. An innocent stop for a cracked tail light or a burned out turning signal could result in the police running a search that shows an outstanding warrant. A visit outside the country could result in a warrant check while your passport is being checked.
Get attorneys experienced at fighting an outstanding warrant and putting your fears to rest. Ciccarelli Lawyers had resolved and quashed scores of warrants on behalf of our clients in Pennsylvania criminal cases.
A bench warrant is more serious today than ever before because of technology: it is easier and easier for police to run a database check through the Judicial Network system that is used by law enforcement agencies throughout the country. Today, the police are starting to obtain the technology to scan a license plate for irregularities and potentially obtain warrant information even when you are driving legally.
Get advice and get your questions answered on a Pennsylvania bench warrant or arrest warrant before you are detained and waiting to be release from jail.
