Hi... I need your help.
I always thought an arrest warrant was something issued for commiting a crime... i.e. - you didn't pay your parking/speeding tickets and now you're being arrested for it.
I thought a bench warrant was something issued by the court for missing your court date... i.e. - you didn't pay your tickets, was issued a court date and you failed to appear for it, and now you're being arrested for that.
I was doing research and came upon an website talking about warrants. To me, they made it sound like the same thing.
Is it?
If not, can you explain to me the difference?
Thanks...
