Kinky!
I think you mean “robe”.
We need shotguns for this job.
(And here I am past the edit window…)
Would that be Montgomery County Ohio?
Nope, Texas. There sure are a lot of Montgomery Counties, though. My last move was from the one in PA to the one in TX.
Still haven’t found Justin’s stash, dammit.
Hey! I’m in line! And I’ve got a mini!
oh, you mean mini cooper? never mind.
I’ve always wondered about this. How do you find out that there’s a warrant out for you? Are you somehow notified? I’m wondering if there are a bunch of people out there with warrants out for their arrest who have no idea.
Around these parts, they send you a letter in the mail (uncertified). Whether you’re still at that address to receive it, well…
Yes, I’m quite sure there are people that have warrants they don’t know about, but I’ll bet they might have an inkling they possibly aren’t square with the law.
Would it be bad if I just went down to the police station and said, “Hey, got any warrants out on me?”
Bad for whom?
All I got yesterday was two Seventh Day Adventists trying to stop abortions. They need to lose the suit and ties and hide the abortion pamplets from view if they want you too even open the screen door.
Well, did they stop the abortion you apparently had going on there?
Next time just tell them right off that Dave’s not here, man.
Just pick up the phone and call. At one point here they would give that info out over the phone. It has been years since I called though.
You bought a house since 06? I’m so sorry to hear that. 
This will work: Tell them that you are Mr. James (your real last name) (make up another first name if your real first name is James) and say that your brother is a real fuck up and you hope he isn’t in trouble again. Start crying. If you can’t cry on demand, drink a fifth of Jim Beam and think about the bitch in seventh grade who broke your heart, then call.
Tell them that James was a good boy but he has lost his way and you will Solemnly Pray that he finds The Lord, but just want to know if he is in any trouble with “y’all”.
When they give you the info and ask where “James” is, tell them “God Bless” and hang up…
I like they way they always travel in pairs, as if they’re looking for an ark.
Thanks for all the responses to my question. I just wanted to make it clear that I’m asking ONLY out of curiosity. When I was about 20, I was pulled over for a moving violation and was arrested on an outstanding warrant I knew nothing about (for a by-law infraction for dog running at large, but that’s another story).
YMMV, Do Not Spray Directily Into Eyes, Do Not Taunt Happy Fun Ball, etc., etc., but…part of my job as a dispatcher is entering those damn warrants into the system. We have an anal retentive QA person who insists that every single known address for a wanted person gets entered on their warrant (we try to include dates, too, but we don’t always have them). A lot of habitual criminals aren’t known for their length of residency at any one place, so we end up entering 8 or 10 addresses for one scumbag. Most cops know, though, that if the address is further down towards the bottom of the list, it’s probably an old one.
We get printouts all the time from other agencies that have entered warrants on someone who has an address in our county. It’s pretty neat, you can enter it and simultaneously send it to any terminal in the country.
In Texas, you can call Austin DPS and they will tell you if you have any warrants. They will tell you how to take care of them, too, to avoid arrest. They were very helpful with my son and his assorted troubles. (He has no warrants now, thank Og.)
They’d rather have your money than lock you up, anyway.
