[Dartagnan]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA

Misdemeanor traffic warrant. case was closed in 2002.
May 2010 Arrested in San Jose CA. booked into Santa Clara Co Jail.
Bail.... $30,000.
Paid $3000 to bail bondsman and got out of jail.
Took the day off work to go to LA for the court date.
judge says...whoops, appears probation forgot to let the court know that you has completed your responsibility and the court issued a warrent.

So now im just out $3000?

Is this something I could do in Small claims or do I need an attorney?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?

maybe you should have just spent the night.

I believe you are out 3000. (who issued that bail?)

Perhaps you should look at your State's ( SOL )s.

Irrelevant. Warrants don't have an SOL.

I think he was more referring to the civil liability Los Angeles County Probation may have and in that case, he may want to file a claim with the county, let it get denied and file in small claims court.

a night in jail is one thing but I live in the Bay area and would have had to be transported to LA
