What is the name of your state?california
i missed a court date in a neighboring county and a bench warrant was issued. How long does it take for it to become active and will the cops in my county know about it right away also???
It will become active the same day. Whether it gets entered into the county warrant system and/or NCIC right away really depends on how busy your county's court clerks are.
If this was MY part of CA the officers in the neighboring county might be notified immediately. Otherwise, they wouldn't come looking for you until you get stopped or until the issuing agency or court called them to go hook you up.
You never know.
So, it is in your interest to clear the matter up immediately!
