What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? california
I followed what the probation court docs said. Here is where I think I messed up.
I went to the DMV after the court date, showed the lady there my docs and said it says "Complete Wet Reckless or 1st Offender DUI Program as recommended by the Department of Motor Vehicles". The Dmv gal said that they had no mention of me needing to complete a program. I said ok and left. I was thinking because it said as recommended by the DMV it was up to the DMV to decide. Three months later I went back to the DMV, asked the same question again and again they told me I didnt need to do a program. A month later In January I went in to ask what I needed to get my licenses re-instated. Got a sr22 and insurance, paid the DMV fines and such and got my license.
2 weeks ago I went to visit my parents out of state. Today (a few hours ago) my sister calls to tell me that she found an envelope out in the front yard under some leaves that had the superior court written on it. It was dated 3/09 I asked her to open it. She stated that it was a notice for a $10,000 warrant on reckless driving while wet.
I am totally confused. Is this because the court wanted me to do a offender program but the DMV did not? Or could this be because I was a couple days late on a payment last month?
Do I need to turn myself in when I can get back? Beg what money I can from family and find a lawyer? Ask for a court date myself?
Any opinions would be appreciated.
