A criminal warrant in New Jersey is more serious than many people realize. Warrants can be issued for a variety of reasons, including failure to appear in court, failure to pay fines, or being charged with a crime. Once a warrant is issued, law enforcement has the authority to arrest you at any time. Having an active warrant can complicate your life, leading to unexpected arrests at home, work, or during routine traffic stops, which can be embarrassing and stressful.
There are two main types of criminal warrants in New Jersey: arrest warrants and bench warrants. Arrest warrants are issued when someone is suspected of committing a crime, while bench warrants are typically issued when someone fails to comply with a court order, such as failing to appear in court. Ignoring a warrant can lead to increased penalties, including additional fines and jail time.
