Simply put, failure to appear is a legal term used to
describe when you do not appear for a court appearance at a set date and
time in any county in California. If you do not show up in court for an
arraignment, criminal proceedings, or criminal sentencing, you will
undoubtedly receive a bench warrant. A
bench warrant can lead to your immediate arrest. Failure to appear is
considered a misdemeanor crime and can result not only in a bench
warrant but also detainment, fines, driver’s license suspension, and
other penalties. By not appearing in court on a schedule date, or within
14 days after the scheduled date, it implies the defendant is trying to
“evade the process of court.” |
