Legal Question in DUI Law in California

moving out of state

what happens if i move out of california before i go to court for a dui? or what if i go the first day, but then never show up again? will the dui go away after so many years or will be arrested as soon as i try to get a license in another state evenn if it is several years down the road? i want to go work in alaska or backpack in s. america...will this pending case be sitting here in CA waiting for my return? for how long? it's my 2nd dui w/in 4 yrs. and there was an acident but no injuries.

Re: moving out of state

Warrants live forever, and you really don't want to be unexpectedly snapped into cuffs on a traffic stop somewhere in the US, far far from CA. You will not be able to leave or enter the US without arrest. Time to face up to responsibility and handle it before it escalates. The penalties only get worse when you disregard the court rules. Contact me if interested in doing this right.
