You can have an attorney appear on the warrant and request that the probation be transferred. Call me directly at 1.619.846.8947.
Re: transferring a case from one county to another
Actually no, you may not transfer the probation case to another county.
Re: transferring a case from one county to another
No. Cases are only transferred to other counties if the defendant cannot get a fair trial in the original forum. This can happen where a case is so notorious that it's impossible to find a fair jury (the Scott Petersen case is a good example of this) or where the crime was serious and the victim was a judge, prosecutor or someone else in a position within the justice system that the fairness of the courts would be compromised. Such circumstances are extremely rare, and it's hard to imagine a misdemeanor case fitting these criteria.

No. You'd better hire an attorney to help you get the warrant withdrawn and the situation handled voluntarily before you get taken away in cuffs. Feel free to contact me if serious about doing so.
