Re: legal question
a bench warrant originates with the judge, usually for failure to appear for a court date or contempt. Other warrants are usually started by the police or the prosecutor and brought for the judges approval. If you need further info, contact me at www.kliszlaw.com. Tim Klisz

A bench warrant is issued by the judge but the effect is the same, you end up before the judge. If you need help with this, contact my office.
