What is the name of your state? CA

I got a ticket for smoking in a bar in 7/01, it was $68 or $70. I went out of town and forgot to pay it by the deadline. I have a bench warrant because I guess I was supposed to go to court for it, but did not know. I called the court and asked how to resolve it, and they said I have to come in to take care of it. What will happen to me? Will I go to jail or get arrested, or will they just make me pay the money for the ticket + fines? Thanks for any help in advance.

My response:

Your picture is next to the Wanted poster of Bin-Laden. The police academy uses your likeness on their target range. You will be summarily executed.

Oh, please. Go pay your fine.

I don't know about CA law, but if there is a warrant out for your arrest, you will be booked and released, that's why they want you to come in to take care of the warrant. Then you will pay your fines. Money, money, money!
