It only makes it worse if you already have a warrant. Pay the ticket and put it behind you. Otherwise you are going to get arrested and you will have to pay it anyway.

You will have to show up and ask that the warrant be recalled. Then you set the case for trial, and that is when you ask the judge for leniency.
