What is the name of your state? WA

If I have a warrant out for my arrest for unpaid DUI fines (first time DUI, never any trouble with the law before), will it come up when I go through U.S. Customs? Isn't a first time DUI a misdemeanor? Will it automatically go to the national database (NCIC??)

They do have access to those databases. The question is will they choose to access those files? It depends if you do anything that raises suspension or if you fit some kind of profile.

A friend of mine became angered when customs agents scattered his cloths around while searching through his suite case. His rudeness raised a red flag. To make a long story short they arrested him for a FTA out of Texas.
