Ok. My boyfriend (now ex-bf) was driving my car and he got pulled over for cutting through a parking lot. We both knew that he had warrants on him. So after we got pulled over, the cops arrested him and "leased" (I don't know what that means when they do that) back to me. Now he's in California and the court date is April 4 so it means he won't be going to his court date for the traffic tickets. The tickets are in his name but he driving MY car while I was in it...will I get in trouble?

Tickets are issued to a person not to a car. There should be no reason for you to get into trouble because he was driving your vehicle. When the police allowed you to leave driving your own vehicle--the car was released to you the owner.

That just means your car was released back to you. You are not responsible in anyway for your ex showing up to court.
Unless you signed a lease and you haven't made any payments on him, then watch for the repo man to take back your ex!!

I don't think 'leased' is the term they used. 'Released' is the term i think they used. If the released the car to you, that means you have the car. If they released HIM to you, that means YOU are responsible to make sure he appears in court. the fact he was driving your car is not an issue.

You shouldn't. The citations are issued against him, not your car. Otherwise your car would have to appear.
You're fine. Your Ex is the one with a future problem. Relax and good luck.
