    Unhappy How to Find Out if There is an Arrest Warrant

    I use to shoplift a lot, until I got caught. That made me stop and learn what horrible things I did. This was an awful habit.

    Anyways, I took stuff from a lot of major retailers. I sent apology letters and money to them, but I don't know if that solves anything, legally.

    I'm a minor, so what is the best way for me to find out if there's an arrest warrant out for me? I'm leaving the country so I need to know. And If I do have one, what do I do? Can I just pay a fine? Or would they take me to jail?

    According to your other thread, you sent them anonymously. So even if it did solve anything legally (which it doesn't), how would they know it's you?

    Sometimes, you can search active warrants online. Alternatively, you can call the police station and ask.

    What makes you think you might have one? When you were caught shoplifting, did you skip your court date?

    And If I do have one, what do I do? Can I just pay a fine? Or would they take me to jail?
    You get an attorney to help you negotiate the terms of your surrender.

    No, I was not charged. I had to do probation. Or, I will be doing it anyways. I'll try to update it when I find out (Sept.) in the other post.
    But I was thinking that if someone (LP) had ever taken my license #, because video surveillance caught me stealing, that they could turn that over to a judge and have a warrant out for me...?
    Is that possible?
