Legal Question in Criminal Law in Pennsylvania

Re: warrants

Definitely not true. There is nowhere you can go in the U.S. where there isn't a chance of the warrant popping up. If you're driving down a remote Alaska road five years from now and the local sheriff pulls you over for a busted tail light - an NCIC check will have the warrant most likely.

It's true that folks abscond all the time and go off to lead quiet lives, living under the radar, working under the table, happy and free. BUT, you're living every day with the possibility of being found-out and ripped away from the new life you have made.

It's your choice, but turning yourself in is always better than being caught - and doing it sooner is better than doing it later. To get more specifics as to what might happen, feel free to contact me for a consultation. Based on the offense, the prior record, the identity of your back judge, and many other factors, I'll be able to advise you in a more specific way.
