What is the name of your state? NJ

Ok, I was pulled over and given a ticket for driving while suspended in Philadelphia about 2 years ago. I didn't pay the ticket and got my car out of impound and skipped PA to NJ. Since then i've been pulled over about 4 or 5 times (for usually the same thing... i've since learned my lesson) in NJ, still with the same license plate i had in PA. Now I'm about to finish the Sherrifs Labor Assistance Program (or SLAP) in Morris County NJ, and I was wondering if a bench warrant for failure to appear would show up when the jail ran me on tuesday when it didn't show up in my abstract or the one time i spent a night in jail in morris county, or any time i got pulled over. I'm just trying to not take any chances.

Disclosure is the best policy; it could show up on your computer check.

One does not "pay warrants."

One surrenders if a warrant is outstanding.
