When you have failed to pay traffic tickets or have not appeared in court for a hearing related to sentencing or other legal matter, the judge usually immediately issues a bench warrant.  In some cases, the individual is unaware that there is a warrant out for them and may discover it in the most embarrassing of circumstances.    When an individual moves to a different address, it can be possible that you did not receive the notice of hearing date; the court will assume that you did, and failed to appear.  This can be very serious for those who missed a court date unknowingly, as you can be arrested at any time and put in jail to await a hearing.
