Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Re: Should I had been notified

They have to notify you in some fashion in order to get you to come to court and face the charges. But they have 3 ways. They can just arrest you. Or they can send you a letter telling you that charges have been filed and when to come to court. Or, they can just issue a warrant, put it out over the wires, and wait until you get stopped for a traffic offense and then arrest you on the warrant. Which method they'll used depends on many factors, and can't be predicted without more information. The best idea would be to have a criminal lawyer look into the situation and find out what's being done so you don't have to keep looking over your shoulder.

Re: Should I had been notified

I've read the previous reply and will only suppliment it.

You'll probably get a letter from the D.A. if they decide to file against you. If your address on the police report is current you should not have a problem.

You might also call the Criminal Court that the matter would be heard in and ask him/her if there is a filing against you.

Being a responsible citizen and taking care of your problems with the court goes along way with judges.
