If the bench warrant is for an unpaid traffic or bylaw fine, or any other non-criminal fine, you can simply pay the fine to the Receiver General of British Columbia, which will cancel the warrant. Be sure to provide your full name and the ticket number.

If the bench warrant is for Failure to Appear, overdue Child Support, or other minor criminal or provincial offenses, you should engage an attorney who may be able to arrange a court date with the Crown and appear on your behalf without the need for you to travel to British Columbia. If you wish to plead guilty, you may request to have the charge transferred to Ontario. If you wish to plead not guilty, you will have to appear in B.C. to contest the charge.

For more serious summary offenses, and for any indictable offense, your attorney can arrange for you to surrender to the appropriate police force in B.C. Doing so in advance reduces the likelihood of you being denied bail, or spending several days in a Remand center waiting for a preliminary hearing.

A bench warrant is a warrant that is issued by a Judge or Magistrate pursuant to other proceedings. It is different from a warrant requested by the Crown or Police as part of a criminal investigation. Warrants can be "endorsed" or "unendorsed". This refers to whether the issuing Judge has signed the part of the warrant that allows you to be released by a peace officer on a recognizance, instead of having to stay in custody until you appear in court for a bail hearing.

Most bench warrants for Failure to Appear are unendorsed, meaning you will remain in custody until a Magistrate or Judge sees you and determines if you should be granted bail. This can be a few hours, or a few days. Most warrants for unpaid fines or other minor criminal offenses are endorsed, meaning you will be fingerprinted, formally charged, and then immediately released with a summons.

Note: While prosecutors or police forces may decline to act on extremely old warrants and charges, warrants for indictable offenses under the criminal code do not expire. There is no statute of limitations for indictable offenses in Canada. The statute of limitations for summary offenses is 6 months, however, that is only how long the Crown has to charge a person. Once charged, the file remains active until it is dealt with. You can be charged without ever having been arrested. In the context of this question, the subject of the warrant has generally already been charged, so the statute does not apply.

Yes. Bench warrants do not expire. Usually the officer in question would contact the authorities where the warrant was issued.

Would an attorney help me not be arrested if I was issued a bench warrant for a misdemeanor Do I take care of bench warrant at courthouse or police station?

Your attorney could arrange for you to come in an voluntarily meet with the judge. However, if you encounter law enforcement before that time they'd be required to bring you to the judge on the basis of confirming the bench warrant. The bench warrant is likely for failure to appear, so if your attorney contacts the court to make an appearance with you they may be able to get the warrant set aside. If you know what court the warrant is out of you may be able to contact the clerk of that court and see if there is a bond you could pay to get the warrant set aside until a new court date could be set. Just some ideas. No idea what state, county, or municipality you are in and that absolutely makes a difference in how they do their business. (But your attorney will know). BTW, I am almost positive that no matter where you live, the police station is not the place to take care of it unless you just want to turn yourself in and be booked into jail and see the judge that way.

How long will your license be suspended if you have a ticket from Louisiana and now live in Florida?

It depends on what kind of ticket. Most tickets they have not been paid are issued with a bench warrant. As far as I know there is no satutes of limitations on warrants. I would suggest calling the court house in the state where the infraction occured and try to work something out before a bench warrant is issued. When that happens you can be pulled over for a simple fix it ticket and you can be arrested.
