The gourts hand down secret indictments every day. These are usually the work of a LOT of undercover work. The Evidenc eis presented to the grand jury. The grand jury reviews the evidence. If the evidence is sufficient, the grand jury sends the case forrward for prosecution. At that point, the court issues a warrant. The suspect might not have a clue about the investigation.
Prosecution is another matter. The accused has a right to face his accusers in court.

Under the Patriot Act, suspects can be arrested and held indefinitely without a warrant, a trial, or formal charges. This is in violation of Amendments 4 through 7 of the Constitution, but Bush doesn't let little technicalities like that stop him.

I had a warrant without my knowlege. I got a ticket for not having my insurance card with me at an accident. Well, I sent the court my copy of the insurance and i guess they never got it. A few months later i had a warrant. I never knew they didn't ge tthe copy. But all i had to do was send a nother copy and it was dropped.

Yes, you can be arrested, of course, if you didn't show up in court, (because of a lawsuit, small claims, etc.) or any kind of case, it's called violating the law, even if you were not notified, but knew about it, even not knowing, that's why you get served, otherwise there can't be a case.

Sure, sometimes subeonas get lost in the shuffle. If you don't show up for a court appearance because you forgot or got the date mixed up.....you'll get issued a bench warrant.

Yes, anyone can press charges and there be a warrant sworn out and after trying to apprehend you. They have the choice of dropping it or just holding on to it, until a later day.

If you have taken precautions to keep from being contacted, case in point, don't answer the door when the sheriff is there, or don't forward your mail, etc,
...yes you can and you can have default judgments against you
...so my advise is answer the door!
