Legal Question in Criminal Law in Ohio
[Hypothetically speaking of course] Let's say that I was charged with 2-3 felony-amount drug possessions (all for medical purposes, not like that matters, especially in that particular state.) This state would be Ohio. No jail time or bond is required of me after being charged. Now let's suppose that I live in California and that the arresting officers know my address. In this hypothetical situation I don't have the resources to travel back for the court date and end up missing it. My question is: Do I need to be concerned that officers will knock down my doors and arrest me, or should I just be worried about extradition if I get pulled over or ID'd?

It depends on how angry the Ohio judge is because you failed to show. Most likely the judge will just issue a bench warrant and you will be arrested in California and extradited if/when you get pulled over.
