Yes, its called extradition. It depends on how far away you are from the agency that issued the warrant and how big the check was. If it was a small check, they most likely won't waste their resources extraditing you.

For the answer above - "Sure it wasn't intentional..." - why bother answering a question if you are just going to malign the questioner? Ok, I accept freedom of speech and the enjoyment some get from 'smart' comments, but don't you see the irony of providing semi-legal advice to someone whilst totally disregarding the concept of "innocent until proven guilty"?
Anyway, to the question - if it's a felony warrant, then you will be arrested if they have access to the warrant info (not all states share info, and not all forces within a state share info!). Misdemeanour's don't result in a default arrest but they should be reported by the officer.
The key question is though, that long story of yours should be told to someone at some point. You'll likely be fined (at most) if the story is convincing and you have no pattern of behaviour and the victim was not overly disadvantaged. It's better to deal with this now, rather than get all dramatic one day as you drive past a stroller. Then you'll panic, get embroiled in a high speed chase, end up on the evening news with awesome helicopter footage of you being dragged from your car to theirs.
Phew.

Actually yes they can. It happend to my sister. Escpcially if you get arrested in your current state. Once they process you in yuor current state the former state can have you extradited to face your charges. I'm going to give you the same advice that saved my sister from having to serve time. If it is your first or second offense the best thing you can do is call them and turn yourself in. You will be processed and will have to post bail. You might even have to stay in that state until it is resolved. But by doing that it helps you. My sister did and she was out of it in about 4 months. She had to pay a $700.00 lump sum to the state and in turn they did not put her on probation nor did she have to pay restitution. She has a daughter and she knew I would take care of her. I encourage you to do this and get it behind you. If it was accidental let them know. Tell them what happend. Don't worry about how people judge you on here. It could happend to them too. For all i know you could have taken out a check loan and got laid off. Or you could have been in an abusive situation and had to leave in a hurry. So I do believe you cause I know what happend with my sister first hand! Good Luck and keep me updated!

In this computer age, the police can run your name for warrants, and yes, can arrest you from another state. However, usually they just run a vehicle check. They do not extradite for misdemeanors. If you have other charges that add up, they might extradite you out of state. But NONETHELESS, once they have an out of state warrant, they can hold you for 3 days to determine if the other state will pay travel costs to have you extradited, and just to piss you off they may hold you 3 days anyway knowing that you will not be extradited. Stay out of trouble and out of the spot light!

For the answer above - "particular it wasn't intentional..." - why difficulty answering a question if you're only going to malign the questioner? ok, I settle for freedom of speech and the thrill some get from 'smart' comments, yet do not you spot the irony of providing semi-legal suggestion to someone at the same time as completely brushing off the idea of "danger free till shown in charge"? besides, to the question - if that's a legal warrant, then you will be arrested in the journey that they have got get precise of entry to to the warrant information (not all states share information, and not in any respect all forces interior a state share information!). Misdemeanour's do not bring about a default arrest yet they must be pronounced with information from the officer. the foremost question is although, that lengthy tale of yours ought to stumble on the thanks to someone quicker or later. you'll likely be fined (at maximum) if the tale is convincing and also you've were given no trend of behaviour and the sufferer changed into not overly deprived. it is better to take care of this now, somewhat than get all dramatic in the destiny as youchronic previous a stroller. then you'll panic, get embroiled in a intense speed chase, finally end up on the nighttime information with dazzling helicopter images of you being dragged out of your motor vehicle to theirs.

YES - BUT, IT DEPENDS ON THE JURISDICTION. IN CAL, ALL STATE LAW ENFORCEMENT (HIGH PATROL, SHERIFF'S OFFICES) AND LARGE CITY POLICE DEPARTMENTS HAVE ACCESS TO A NATIONWIDE DATABASE THAT SHOWS OUTSTANDING WARRANTS FOR ALL STATES. If you are pulled over, don't say anything. Consider that the officer probably has already run your license plate and already knows you have warrants outstanding. Ask for a lawyer - don't try to explain. For a prepaid legal plan that can help you in this situation, look at this website: www.abcltdusa.com. Good Luck!

Yes you can. Sometimes they have to extidite but for a hot check they will. You don't have to be pulled over, my daughter got it when she was cashing a workcheck and a flag went up.

Yes of course. They would probably return you to the first state.

Not a big deal. You should be fine. They are not going to come looking for you. Wait for the statute of limitations to do its thing.
Just don't get arrested again. Don't get pulled over by the cops. Do not speed. That will pop up and you will have to deal with it.
Yes they might arrest you! Do not speed and stay out of trouble!
