Can An Arrest Warrant Be Issued For Unpaid
Traffic Warrants
Though not a serious offense, a warrant in some states can be issued for unpaid traffic tickets or failure to appear in court to resolve a traffic fine. If you are arrested for a traffic violation, typically you will be granted a continuance to appear in court to resolve the issue at a future date. You do not want to miss your court hearing or there will be additional fines and trouble for you.
It's important to note that a person can indeed be arrested and put in jail for traffic violations that have not been resolved. If you're pulled over by the police and have any outstanding traffic violations, law enforcement has the right to take you into custody. The state doesn't really want to use it's resources to arrest a person for unsatisfied traffic violations or a failure to appear for a court date. Being arrested for a traffic violation is easily avoidable if you pay your fines on time and appear in court when appointed.
If you accrue enough unpaid traffic violations or ignore a traffic warrant for a period of time, you can expect a suspension of your driver's license. If you drive with a suspended license and get pulled over (whether or not you're aware of it) you will face further fines due to the existing traffic warrant(s). You will be charged with driving without a valid license and have to answer for the outstanding warrants in addition to whatever reason you were stopped for in the first place.
You may be classified as a habitual offender if you've been fined with recurring violations, have a traffic warrant that has gone unpaid for some time, or are caught driving on a suspended license. If this be the case you could lose your license for up to five (5) years or more. As you can see ignoring your traffic violations will eventually cost you significant problems and unwanted fines.
If you think you have a warrant for failure to appear or other criminal traffic
infractions it makes sense to seek a professional attorney.
